I was driving to work this morning down Redondo, when a fire truck, lights shining and sirens blaring, came into view about a quarter of a mile ahead of me. I slowed down and pulled to the side of the road and saw an old man walk out of his apartment building and stretch his arms out on the side walk. As the speeding fire truck drove past, the fireman at the wheel gave a big friendly wave to the man on the sidewalk, who returned the gesture and went on stretching. Long Beach was Small Town, USA at that moment. It was so refreshing.
