Seattle isn't the only place where people will stand in ridiculously long lines for a little sugar. Earlier this afternoon the line stretched down the block outside Sprinkles, the alleged "progenitor of the haute cupcake craze," according to their website. It's was 85 degrees outside when I took this picture. I love cupcakes. But who wants a cupcake when it's freakin' 85 degrees outside?

I rode all over LA today—biked from West Hollywood down to Venice Beach and then over to the Santa Monica Pier and then up Santa Monica Boulevard all the way back to West Hollywood—and I have to say that biking In LA is a lot more pleasant than I thought it would be. Best of all, there are bike paths everywhere here, running along both sides of every street, which makes it easy to get around. They call them "sidewalks" and I pretty much had them all to myself all day long.
