My friend Jack and I went to the beach Wednesday to take advantage of a high pressure system over the area bringing rather warm conditions. (Thank you Jackie Johnson!!)It was a nice day and traffic in both directions was pretty light. We've certainly noticed a drop in traffic in the area recently due in part I think from the 10% unemployment rate in SoCal.

Who is Jackie Johnson someone asked??? She is the meteorologist for KCal9 News in the evening. In 2003 she was voted the "hottest meteorologist" by Playboy magazine.
