Thursday, December 16, 2010 – Basic Struggles

Saber-Toothed Tiger sculpture at the Page Museum at the La Brea Tar Pits

Los Angeles used to be like this. It's the Page Museum at the La Brea Tar Pits down on Wilshire – mammoths, dire wolves, short-faced bears, ground sloths, and the state fossil of California, the saber-toothed cat, Smilodon californicus. It was forty thousand years ago, the last Ice Age – the tar that bubbled out of the ground, and still does, trapped them all. But it seems they didn't get along anyway. And Los Angeles is still like this.
