Almost As Soon As I Exited The Subway Station,

I was confronted with this sight.  I don't know how that looks to a pilot, but I think I might reconsider the choice of color anyway, just to be on the safe side...

Another Building Tries To Vanish

Or at least to pretend that it's not really a building, but just a set of windows.

Yet Another Vanishing Building

INVISIBILITY PAINT!

Today it drizzled off and on all day long.  The City of Angels appeared gray, enveloped as it was in a light mist that blurred the boundary between land and sky and seemingly brought everything closer.  One had to exercise particular caution driving because... well, in sunny L.A., the moment raindrops dampen the pavement -- be they ever so precious few -- people seem to forget how to drive.  And thus it was that I was slowly making my way down Western Avenue through the heart of Koreatown, when I happened to notice this odd sight.

In old Warner Bros. cartoon shorts, 'vanishing cream' meant literally that -- you put it on, and you vanished.  Well, it looks like a product like that exists in real life.  Obviously someone had just started to give that building a coat of 'invisibility paint', then had to stop when it started to rain.

THE SECOND OF TWO FOLLOW-UPS TODAY (RE 10-23-2010)

Today I had to drive out to the Hollywood area to pick up a prescription. The trip turned out to be particularly interesting -- in quick succession I sighted: #1. another screwy cloud (previous post); and #2. another shy building (below), which seems to be merging into the sky.

Edit: Hmm -- I thought this building was part of the Church of Scientology, but it may be that it's actually a separate building, adjacent to it. I'll have to find out next time I'm in the area.
