	Friday, March 27, 2009 – Just by Chance

Live in Hollywood, walk down the street, and odd things just happen. The former Masonic Temple on Hollywood Boulevard belongs to Disney-ABC Entertainment now – the Masons lost the place in the Great Depression. Now it is home to Jimmy Kimmel Live! Kimmel was out front this afternoon – some sort of stunt. It made no sense, and no one was explaining. This sort of thing happens all the time. The camera crew was amused.

It's a tradition, of sorts –

This sort of thing could drive you to drink, at the "Celebrity Bar" at Mel's Drive-In, which isn't even a drive-in as it has valet parking. But it is in the middle of Hollywood.

But you need to be careful what you drink –

You get used to Hollywood.
