Southbound 110: Traffic Collision 9/8/2023
Public Service Announcement: I saw this accident on the Southbound 110 between a Honda and a Toyota, and got footage on my dash cam, but I wasn’t able to stop (it wasn’t safe) so I couldn’t contact the drivers, especially the driver of the Toyota. Their insurance company will want to see this.

Late Night Talking - Chapter Two
Summary: Emily and Dieter go on their first date.
Rating: PG-13
Tagging @rhoorl because Working Title inspired me to write this
I spent most of that Friday getting ready. A mani-pedi and eyebrow wax at the salon, a mini makeover at Ulta, and a blowout and style at my hairdresser. I’d debated buying a new dress, but decided to spend my money on the beauty treatments instead. I wore my favorite dress, a comfortable but clingy teal blue wrap that showed just enough cleavage.
By the time I was done at the hairdresser, it was almost 3 o’clock and I headed for Pasadena. Traffic on the 210 could be a bitch at any time, but was especially bad on Fridays, so I didn’t want to take any chances. Better to get there early and have to kill some time than to be late. Objectively, I knew that if I got caught in traffic, I could text Dieter (everyone in SoCal understood getting stuck in traffic) but I didn’t want to have to make him wait. So I left ridiculously early and for once traffic was light. I pulled into the parking lot behind Vroman’s at 4:08.
Well, might as well browse the store a bit, I thought, rather than sit in the car. It was summer and too bloody hot to sit in a car without the A/C running. I walked into the bookshop and took a deep breath. The smell of brand new books filled my lungs and helped settle my nerves a little. Just a little, though, because I was on the verge of an anxiety attack every time I realized I was actually going on a date with Dieter Bravo.
I hadn’t told anyone about my plans other than Sam. I was fully aware of the rumors about Dieter’s past, and I knew at least one if my friends would try to warn me off. I was also very aware that he’d done a stint in rehab and had stayed out of the headlines ever since. I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.
I wandered the aisles, reacquainting myself with the layout of the store so I could impress Dieter with my knowledge of the place. I’d talked it up so much but it had been a while since I’d had the chance to visit and I didn’t want to look like an idiot. Really, though, I was just nervous and trying to keep myself busy. Finally, at 4:30 I gave up and went into The 1894.
I took a seat at the bar and ordered a glass of wine. Maybe that will settle my nerves, I thought. I asked the bartender if I could save the seat next to me. “I’m meeting someone at five,” I told her. “I got here early.”
She shrugged. “Sure, but I can’t stop anyone from sitting there if we run out of seats.”
I understood, but so far the place was only about half full. Most people hadn’t gotten off work yet. I sat my purse on the empty seat next to me and sipped my wine. Twice people came up to me and asked if the seat was available, and I told them no, someone was sitting there. They moved on without a fuss, but it was a little annoying. When the third person walked up, I was about to roll my eyes and make a smart remark, but before I could turn, a familiar voice said, “No fair starting without me.”
I picked up my purse and he slid onto the seat, leaning his arm on the bar. He was wearing a pale blue short sleeved button down shirt, the top few buttons left undone, and a pair of dark blue slacks. Nothing too fancy, but a definite step up from the t-shirt and jeans from the other day. His hair was mostly tamed, but still a bit messy. It was a good look on him.
“Hi,” he said, with a smile.
“Hi,” I said, smiling back. “I got here super early. Traffic wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be.”
He nodded. “Yeah, I got here faster than I expected, too,” he said. “Guess the freeway gods wanted us to start things early.” He winked and I melted inside. “That dress looks great on you, by the way,” he went on. “The color really brings out your eyes.”
Now I really was blushing, and it wasn’t from the wine. “Thanks,” I said. “You look nice, too.”
He shrugged. “I clean up fairly well.” The bartender came over and asked if she could get him anything. “I’ll have the same,” he said, pointing at my wine glass. “And put it on one check, please.”
I picked up my glass and took a sip. “The feminist in me wants to insist I’m perfectly capable of buying my own drinks,” I said, “but my bank balance is telling her to shut up.”
He laughed and laid his hand on mine. “Tell your inner feminist I respect her very much, but I agree with your bank balance that she needs to mind her own business for a while.” He rubbed his thumb against the back of my hand and I took another sip of wine to allow myself to recover a bit of composure. Fortunately, the bartender brought his wine and he let go to take his glass.
“Cheers,” he said, tipping his glass toward mine.
“Cheers,” I replied, as we clinked our glasses together. He maintained eye contact as he took a drink.
“Nice choice,” he said after he’d swallowed. He pulled a menu closer and waved the bartender over. “Can we get a meat & cheese board, and some olives?” She nodded. “Sorry,” he said. “I got sidetracked this morning and didn’t get lunch before my meeting.”
“No worries,” I said. “Who knows if or when we’ll get around to dinner. I don’t know about you, but I can spend hours in this place.” I nodded toward the bookshop proper.
He smiled. “Great minds think alike,” he said. There was that smile again. I found myself smiling back, sure I looked like a total goofball. He reached out for my hand again and gave it a little squeeze. My insides turned instantly to goo.
“So, um, how was your meeting?” I asked.
His face lit up. “It was really good,” he said. “I’m in talks to do a TV series.” He took a sip of wine. “The producer has a couple of different options for my character, wanted my input on which one I liked best.”
“And let me guess, you can’t say a word.”
He grimaced. “Nope, sorry. They’d feed me to the … what’s that thing that ate Boba Fett in Star Wars, that giant sand worm thing?”
“Oh, yeah, I know what you mean,” I said. I searched my brain for the arcane Star Wars knowledge that I knew lurked in there somewhere. “The sarlaac? Is that it?”
Dieter shrugged. “Sounds about right. Whatever it’s called, they’d feed me to it.” Just then the bartender brought our food, and he popped an olive in his mouth.
“By the way, thanks for not giving me the Look,” he said. He nodded toward his wine glass. “Everybody knows I’ve been to rehab, so I usually get the Look from someone when they see me drinking alcohol.”
“It’s none of my business,” I told him. “You’re an adult and so am I.”
He smiled. “Well, thanks again,” he said quietly. “I’m in a pretty good place right now. I have my rules and they’re working for me. A lot of people judge me too harshly.”
We nibbled on the food, ordered another glass of wine, and chit chatted about work, the weather, and other boring stuff that actually seemed important and enthralling because it gave us each a glimpse into the other’s life.
He offered me the last morsel of cheese on the board, but I declined and he ate it, then drained his glass. “So,” he said, clapping his hands together. “Are we going to buy some books or what?”
I finished my wine and smiled. “Let’s do some damage to my bank account,” I said. He laughed, asked for the check and paid it in cash, leaving a ridiculously large tip that made the bartender break into an appreciative smile. I wasn’t sure if he was normally a large tipper or if he was just trying to impress me, but either way, I was happy for the bartender, who had been running herself ragged as the bar started to fill up with people stopping by for after work drinks.
“Shall we?,” he said as we stood up. He let me walk a half step ahead of him, and I felt his hand at the small of my back, gently guiding me through the maze of tables and customers toward the bookstore.
“Where do we start?,” he asked when we reached the sales floor.
“Anywhere you want,” I said. “Fiction? Nonfiction?”
“Definitely fiction,” he replied. I took his hand and led him toward the fiction shelves, glad I had scouted out the store layout earlier.
We wandered the shelves, pulling out a book here and there.
“Have you read this?”
“Oh, I love this one.”
Our reading tastes were not exactly the same, but we overlapped quite a bit. I pulled a copy of The Eyre Affair off the shelf. “Please tell me you’ve read this,” I said.
He shook his head, taking the book from me to read the back. “No, I haven’t. Wait, what the hell is this?” He laughed. “Dodos?”
“Don’t knock it,” I said. “It’s virtually impossible to describe this book without it sounding like the stupidest thing ever, but trust me, it’s brilliant.”
He raised one eyebrow and gave me a look of disbelief. “Interactive Shakespeare,” I said. “Time travel. An independent Wales. Neanderthals. And Jane Eyre is missing!”
He laughed. “Okay, okay, I’ll take your word for it.” He started to put the book back on this shelf but I snatched it from his hand.
“No, I’m buying this for you,” I said. “You have to read it. Non negotiable.”
“And what if I don’t like it?,” he asked.
“Then I’m afraid I’ll have to kill you,” I teased.
“I knew it,” he said, with an exaggerated groan. “My characters almost always die. It’s this face. People just want to kill it.”
“I like your face,” I said.
He leaned against the shelf. “Really?” He seemed surprised. I just gave him a look and he laughed. “Okay, so if I don’t like the book I die; what happens if I like it?”
“Then you become One of Us and must be initiated,” I said.
His eyebrows shot up. “This initiation … am I gonna like it?” He stepped closer to me.
“Oh, yeah,” I said. “You’ll love it. But you’ve got to read the book first.” I tapped him on the chest with the book. He chuckled and shook his head.
“Okay, but now I get to pick out a book for you,” he said. He took my hand and led me up and down the aisles, making a show of picking out just the right book. All the while, our fingers were entwined and he idly rubbed his thumb against my palm. Finally, he decided on a novel by an obscure Lithuanian author that sounded rather depressing to me, but which he insisted was better than the cover blurb would lead you to believe.
We continued to explore the shop, finding something interesting in every aisle. I picked up a tiny Jane Austen doll, which he insisted on buying for me. He admired a leather key fob with a Steinbeck quote, which I insisted on buying for him. Eventually, we each had a small stack of books and little trinkets picked out for each other.
“Ready for dinner?,” he asked.
“Yeah, we’d better get out of here before I find anything more to buy,” I said. We went to the registers, made our purchases and then traded bags.
“So,” he said when we’d stepped outside. “Any good restaurants around here?”
“I know a nice tapas place in Old Pasadena,” I said. “But we’ll have to drive there. It’s like five or six blocks away.”
He laughed. “Oh, you are such a Californian,” he said. “If you’d lived in New York, you’d know five or six blocks is nothing.” He slipped his arm around my shoulders. “Come on, it’s a nice night, let’s take a walk.”
We walked west on Colorado Blvd. It was still light out but starting to get dusky in the shadows of the tall buildings. I’d always found downtown Pasadena a bit “big city” and overwhelming, which I mentioned to Dieter. He laughed. “I’ll take you to New York City sometime,” he said. “Then we’ll talk about what constitutes a ‘big city’.”
I held my tongue, but the fact that he’d casually assumed we’d have a future together of some sort gave me a thrill. Even if we were just friends in that future, I’d take it, although of course I wanted more.
The walk to the restaurant was leisurely, after Dieter realized I couldn’t walk as quickly as he could (the curse of being a short person walking with a tall person), which was perfectly fine with me. He kept his arm around my shoulders as we navigated the foot traffic that always filled the sidewalks in Pasadena, especially on a Friday night. Only one person stopped us to ask for his autograph, although several others did a double take as we went past them.
We reached the restaurant and fortunately didn’t have to wait too long for a table. Most of the customers were crowded in the bar and lounge area, but we were tucked in a corner at a table.
“Nice place,” Dieter said, looking around appreciatively. As soon as he opened the menu, he grinned. “Ooh, they have oysters!”
I made a face. “What’s that face for?,” he said.
“I’m not a big fan of seafood,” I admitted.
“Well, I’m still getting oysters,” he said, with a wink. Our waiter came over and Dieter ordered a gin martini and a half dozen oysters to start with. I opted for potato empanadas and a mojito. By the time the waiter came back with our drinks and appetizers, we’d decided on a pizza to split for our main course.
“Trade you,” Dieter said, offering me an oyster after he saw how good my empanadas looked.
“Ugh, no,” I said. “Those things are disgusting. I’m very picky about what I put in my mouth.”
He nearly spit out his martini and I felt my face go red as I realized how that sounded. “I just mean, I’m a picky eater,” I protested, but he was already laughing so hard he had to wipe his eyes with his napkin.
“Oh, my God,” he said when he’d managed to catch his breath. “That was priceless. But the offer still stands. Those empanadas look really good.” He made puppy dog eyes at me and I shoved an empanada into his mouth.
“Mmph,” he said. When he’d managed to swallow it, he picked up an oyster and waved it in front of my face. “Come on,” he said. “Just try one. I bet you’ll like it.”
I shook my head.
“If you eat one, I’ll give you a kiss,” he offered.
I pouted at him. “I was hoping I’d already done enough to earn a kiss,” I said
“I meant, I’ll give you a kiss right now,” he clarified. “You’re definitely getting a kiss before the evening’s over.” He did that thing with his jaw that always turned me on.
I closed my eyes. “All right, in that case, I’ll do it, but if I don’t like it I get to spit it out, okay?”
“Deal,” he said. “Open up.” I opened my mouth and he tipped the oyster in. I shuddered a bit at the slimy texture and briny taste. “Just swallow it,” he said. I did and almost gagged, but I managed to get it down. I opened my eyes and he was smiling mischievously at me. He leaned across the table to press a gentle kiss against my lips. He tasted like gin and oysters and empanadas. “Worth it?”
“Definitely,” I replied with a lazy smile. “But I’m never eating one of those things again.”
“Fair enough,” he said. We talked about favorite (and not so favorite) foods while we waited for the pizza to arrive. After it arrived, we talked about movies and hobbies and a million other things. Finally, we’d eaten as much as we could and the waiter dropped off the check. Again, Dieter took care of it, this time with a credit card. I made a feeble attempt to ask what my share was, but he waved me off. “Tell your inner feminist she can pay next time,” he said.
We walked slowly back to the parking lot behind Vroman’s enjoying the cooler air now that the sun had gone completely down. We reached my car first and I dug out my keys, unlocked the doors and put my bag in the back seat. “Well,” I said, not sure exactly what to say.
“Well,” he said back, stepping closer, almost pressing me against the side of the car. He sat his bag on the ground and took my face between his hands. This time, the kiss was still gentle, but lasted longer. It was followed by a flurry of shorter but fiercer kisses that made my toes curl. I slid my arms up around his neck and his hands fell to my waist, pulling me closer.
“Mmm,” he murmured. “I had a wonderful time tonight.”
“Me, too,” I replied. He kissed me again.
“We should probably say good night,” he said. I nodded, and kissed him back.
“Someone’s going to wonder why we’re making out in the parking lot,” he said.
“Yeah, we should probably stop,” I said. We didn’t stop.
Finally, a woman and her kids walked past and she made a snarky remark. Dieter laughed and pressed his forehead against mine. “Okay, I think that killed the mood,” he said. He stepped back. “Text me when you get home, so I know you got there safe,” he said. “I’ll call you tomorrow and we can figure out where to go next time.”
“I will,” I said, fumbling with my car keys, which I’d somehow managed not to drop during all that. I opened the car door and dropped into the drivers’ seat. Dieter leaned in to press one last kiss against my cheek.
“Drive safe,” he said, then picked up his bag and headed for his own car, two rows over from mine. I couldn’t resist watching him walk away, admiring the view.
When he got into his car, I turned away and slid my key in the ignition. I’d need the long drive home to calm myself down.

NOTES: Vroman’s is a real bookshop in Pasadena. If you ever get the chance to visit, do so! And do it soon: the owner is retiring and the shop (as well as Book Soup) is up for sale. Fingers crossed they find a new owner who wants to carry on the 100+ year tradition of this indie bookshop. The restaurant is loosely based on a little place I had lunch with friends during a conference in Pasadena. The Eyre Affair is a real book and it is AMAZING. The obscure Lithuanian author is completely made up; I figured Dieter would be into something out of the ordinary.

I'm gonna fight for Primos because I hate it when people attack things they don't fully understand.
First screen of the intro.
The 210 West is a freeway in California if you look on Google maps, to the right of the freeway, in Northern Pasadena is a neighborhood called Normandie Heights. Pasadena is sandwiched between 3 fault lines. I think this is a clever way to hint at the location.
It also looks cool... I like the word terremoto!

In the first hot month of the fall after the summer she left Carter (the summer Carter left her, the summer Carter stopped living in the house in Beverly Hills), Maria drove the freeway. She dressed every morning with a greater sense of purpose than she had felt in some time, a cotton skirt, a jersey, sandals she could kick off when she wanted the touch of the accelerator, and she dressed very fast, running a brush through her hair once or twice and tying it back with a ribbon, for it was essential (to pause was to throw herself into unspeakable peril) that she be on the freeway by ten o'clock. Not somewhere on Hollywood Boulevard, not on her way to the freeway, but actually on the freeway. If she was not she lost the day's rhythm, its precariously imposed momentum. Once she was on the freeway and had maneuvered her way to a fast lane she turned on the radio at high volume and she drove. She drove the San Diego to the Harbor, the Harbor up to the Hollywood, the Hollywood to the Golden State, the Santa Monica, the Santa Ana, the Pasadena, the Ventura. She drove it as a riverman runs a river, every day more attuned to its currents, its deceptions, and just as a riverman feels the pull of the rapids in the lull between sleeping in waking, so Maria lay at night in the still of Beverly Hills and saw the great signs soar overhead at seventy miles an hour, Normadie ¼ Vermont ¾ Harbor Fwy 1.

Depeche Mode: Shaping the Sound of Electronic Music
Formed in Basildon, England, in 1980, Depeche Mode quickly rose to prominence and became one of the most influential bands in the history of electronic music. Originally comprised of Dave Gahan, Martin Gore, Andy Fletcher, and Vince Clarke, their unique sound and captivating performances captivated audiences worldwide.
The band's debut album, "Speak & Spell," released in 1981, marked their entry into the British new wave scene. However, soon after, Vince Clarke decided to leave the band, and Alan Wilder joined as his replacement. This pivotal moment marked a turning point for Depeche Mode, as Martin Gore took over as the main songwriter, and the band embarked on a new musical journey.
With their second album, "A Broken Frame," released in 1982, Depeche Mode solidified their reputation as pioneers of electronic soundscapes. The album showcased a more mature and introspective side of the band, delving into themes of love, loss, and alienation. This trend continued with subsequent releases, including the critically acclaimed albums "Black Celebration" (1986) and "Music for the Masses" (1987), which firmly established Depeche Mode as a dominant force in the electronic and alternative music scenes.
Their music often combined dark, atmospheric melodies with introspective and poetic lyrics, creating a unique sonic experience. Depeche Mode's ability to connect emotionally with their audience resonated deeply, and their popularity soared to new heights. In fact, their concert at the Pasadena Rose Bowl in June 1988 drew a massive crowd of over 60,000 fans, solidifying their status as global icons.
In 1990, Depeche Mode released their seventh album, "Violator," which became a major international success. With hits like "Enjoy the Silence" and "Personal Jesus," the band reached new heights of commercial success and critical acclaim. Following the release of "Violator," Depeche Mode embarked on a groundbreaking worldwide tour, solidifying their reputation as an unparalleled live act.
However, the band faced internal struggles during the recording and touring of their next album, "Songs of Faith and Devotion" (1993). These challenges ultimately led to Alan Wilder's departure in 1995, leaving Depeche Mode as a trio consisting of Gahan, Gore, and Fletcher.
Despite the lineup change, Depeche Mode's artistic vision and musical ambition remained unwavering. They continued to release compelling music, experimenting with different styles and incorporating elements of rock and industrial music. Their influence on the electronic music genre and beyond continued to grow, inspiring countless artists in the process.
Throughout their career, Depeche Mode achieved remarkable chart success. They had an impressive 54 songs in the UK Singles Chart, with 17 albums reaching the Top 10. Their global impact was recognized by Q magazine, which included them in their list of the "50 Bands That Changed the World!" VH1 also acknowledged their significance, ranking them No. 98 on the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time." Billboard named Depeche Mode the 10th Greatest of All Time Top Dance Club Artists in 2016.
In 2020, Depeche Mode was finally inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, cementing their enduring legacy. Their groundbreaking sound, thought-provoking lyrics, and mesmerizing stage presence continue to inspire generations of musicians and fans alike.
Depeche Mode's contribution to the evolution of electronic music cannot be overstated. With their daring experimentation, emotive performances, and timeless hits, they have shaped a genre and left an indelible mark on the history of music. As their music continues to resonate with listeners around the world, Depeche Mode remains a testament to the power of artistic vision and sonic innovation.

Yin Yang Tea, 1263 N Lake Ave, Pasadena, CA 91104
Yin Yang Tea is one of the rare boba shops north of the 210 freeway. It’s in the same shopping center as Food 4 Less. They’re currently still in soft opening mode and they only serve drinks. Choose from steeped tea, traditional milk tea (made with powders), steeped ice tea, fruit iced tea, blended drinks, slush, and coffee. You can specify the milk (non-dairy creamer, oat milk, whole milk), level of ice, and sweetness level. Add-ins: boba, crystal boba, lychee jelly, aiyu jelly, popping boba, grass/herbal jelly.
Earl Grey steeped milk tea (0% sugar): I was told that the steeped tea drinks had a stronger tea flavor than the traditional milk tea drinks. The tea flavor was overwhelmed by all the non-dairy creamer. It wasn’t awful but there was too much creamer.
The decor was okay. They took over Subway and painted the interior but it still looks like a Subway. They kept the counter and the seating. Parking was easy to find. They have free wi-fi. If things pick up, they may add snacks. Ask for a frequent buyer card.
2.5 out of 5 stars.

I Shopped At This Amazon Fresh 🥬 In Pasadena, California 🌹 3x During My Visit Last Week. I stopped off of the LA Metro Blue Line train 🚊 on my way into town for a chicken salad 🥗. The next morning with a friend, for a quick grab-and-go breakfast 🍇. And again from the Blue Line on my way to the airport 🛫, to get a healthy salad lunch 🥗. It is conveniently located about a block off of the 210 Freeway and it is on the main road that goes through town, Colorado Boulevard. If you are an Amazon Prime member, some of the products are on further discount. There are hundreds of cameras 📹 tracking everything above ☝️. They have two ways to check out. By using the Amazon app on your phone with a registered CC or by regular checkout with a person that scans your items. There is a small sitting area after checkout to eat food, if you want. You can be in and out in a few minutes, so easy.
