If there’s no game and no parking then I think it gets farther. Either way, elevation is no joke. Won’t be a thin air oxygen thing, just that going UP is hard. So bring lots of water and take your time. But if I’m looking at it right, from Dodger parking lot, if the map is right, it is doable.

Why do you want to go to Angels Point? Just curious. Either way, from a quick look it depends on where you are starting from. Based on a quick search, if you are going to a Dodgers game and thus can park at the very far end of the right lot, it wouldn’t be that far.

That said, if you have an hour and a half, you should definitely read this: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/30/us/politics/nra-congress-firearms.html

The idea that journalism is "important" vs. the idea that if I click a link it will only take me 3 minutes to read fights itself. If I want bullshit quick takes, I have BuzzFeed, CNN, Axios and Barstool. If the smart place is the bad place, then I can just read the DailyMail.

Based on recent eBay sales, I can sell my Orel Hershiser bobblehead for more than the price I paid for this wacky ticket. #OrelBobblehead (...do they allow hashtags here on the heaven website?)

To offset that hiccup, in the last lap of the race, Mario gets super powers that Bowser and Yoshi don’t get. “All I could see was snow and sky and pines, I closed my eyes and I was runnin’, I was runnin’ then I was flyin’”

It’s “Highway 29” off Tom Joad. Mario and Princess Peach go Bonnie and Clyde. The course is created by David Lynch and halfway through the race, Mario has an existential crisis. “l slept the sleep of the dead, I didn’t dream.”

That’s a good philosophy for life. If I had to rank stadiums I’ve been to: 1. Wrigley (2012) 2. Dodger (2023) 3. SkyDome (mid 90s) 4. Riverfront (1990) 5. Shea (mid aughts) 6. Yankee (2015ish) Haven’t been to others so it’s a limited list.
