I heard the hum of the freeway in
the distance this morning. It was a strong hum. There were a lot of people
trying to get to work. I haven’t heard it that strong in some years. I’d say
the great recession is over. Who needs economists, prognosticators, experts,
when you have the freeway as a barometer.
When the economy was bad, the
vibrations coming from the freeway were weak. It was just a little swarm of bees
in the morning. There was not much activity, or less than usual, I should say.
When
you live in Los Angeles if you sit and listen you’ll hear a freeway. I’ve been
listening to freeways for years. It’s my job to listen. I noticed that when the
economy went bad the freeway noise was reduced. Less people going to work, less
cars, equals less noise. But today, this morning, the noise was back. The
humming of the freeway was strong like a giant swarm of agitated killer
bees just trying to make a buck.
