Today was a real Malibu ADVENTURE…

Ok, so the intention for today was simply to head out for lunch across the hill and see THE BUTLER. But alas… you won’t believe the adventure that ensued…

As we left Malibu and headed into Calabasas, we attempted to enter the 101 Fwy only to see it fully stopped. DEAD stopped. We were forced to back up off the on-ramp with about 10 other cars due to the mess and attempt an alternate route along side the fwy. But… that was a no go too, as everyone else was trying that. Why?

Turns out that there was what looked like a pipe bomb on the side of the freeway and the cops shut both north and south lanes down completely until they realized… it was just a pipe about 3 hours later. So…

No problem. We rolled with it. We headed back into Malibu for lunch @ John’s Garden. As we crossed through town, a Motorcyclist suddenly cut his corner too sharp and crashed in front of us. Face planted right on PCH. I called 911. He was fine after pretty much everyone showed up. Good for him. So… then we decided to stop by the beach for a dip. We dipped…

BUT, as we got out of the water, we looked south to see what looked like a FIRE breaking out near our house! Again,… I called 911.

Within 10 minutes… the cops raced, the fire engines blasted, the helicopters cruised in and the SUPER SCOOPERS scooped. KABLAMEEE!!!! Within 25 minutes, the fire was out and the emergency was over.

I decided to stay home the rest of the day and chill. I’ve had enough adventure for today, thank you very much.
