frustrated...

yesterday afternoon it seemed like I had found an inexpensive shuttle to get me from the airport in Long Beach to my brother and sister in law's house in LA. But today I could not find that price on the Long Beach Airport Web site. So, after many frustrating and non helpful google searches, I finally got sent to Yelp, and with that, the phone numbers of a few car services from Long Beach into LA. Maybe that will do it---that will be my afternoon assignment--not exactly what I want to do, but I am determined to find a reasonable price to get to my brother's. Public transportation seems long and difficult, but will do it if necessary, But first I will try to numbers that I have found via Yelp.
  Not much else to report. Yesterday afternoon was slow---waited until it was time to go to the BAN meeting. That meeting, as we get closer to the march, was really well attended--I think the largest amount of people that I have ever seen at a BAN meeting--and many plans for the march were thrown out. I said very little, usually I contribute more, but I am a bit stopped by my plans----usually I help out at the BAN table on Labor Day, but of course, this year I cannot do it. And i did not volunteer for a few other events as well. But, I will be on the march---will try to do it from start to finish if I have no tutoring that day; if not, will join the march either at the Bed-Stuy stop or either of the Bushwick stop. I would really like to see the march well attended---truly there is so much to fight for; the developers get more and more aggressive as the days go by, while the Mayor, if he defeats Albanese, clings obstinately to his plan for rezoning---a plan that seems very slanted towards the wealthy.
    A good article in one of the small free newspapers that are thrown at consumers at the local subway stations---it shows how there is a picture of a Trojan horse on a mural in Spanish Harlem. The mural sees the horse as dropping upscale people into the neighborhood, similar to the Greeks releasing their soldiers into Troy,  while promising, I suppose, to benefit the neighborhood. Well, it is good that more and more citizens of the city are understanding how disenfranchised the Mayor's policies will make them. "Pockets of rage", is how I describe them.
  For the rest of the day---well--as I said above, will be in the hunt for a decent price for a ride to LA from the airport. Might go down to La Flaca this evening, say hi to Bob, also one of my favorite bartenders is working at the Dive Bar tonight---or maybe even a trip to Brooklyn. I am toying with the idea of getting on the rush ticket line for either of tomorrow's performances of The Great Comet---I would like to see it again before it closes, but I will leave it to my feelings for tomorrow morning. Will definitely be a "wake up" decision. Will report tomorrow.
