LAX
July 20, 2025
Check this out:
LAX was built in 1953 (or thereabouts). This is the so-very-familiar Sepulveda tunnel. I’ve driven through that tunnel my entire life… each and every time we went to LAX. Still there, of course, though the landscape’s done and there are a lot more cars, a good percentage of which are electric and hybrids.
Matt and Michael flew into LAX this morning on a flight from Helsinki, as a matter of fact. His comment to me — in response to my text asking if they were home yet — was “LAX – ugh.” Because, wow.. LAX is huge, crowded, and pretty much a nightmare to navigate in and out of.
But wow, huh? Seventy two years ago. I’m at this point in my life where images from my youth look so vintage and impossibly old. I’m starting to feel like one of those old people who’s seen a lot of progress over their lifetime.
