“You’ll race home…”

Simon Rodia conceived and built the Watts Towers every day when he got home from work for many years. He was in such a hurry to get home and get to work that he found traffic very frustrating. Then one day he had a brainstorm. He put a police strawberry light on top of his car and flashed it to get people out of the way. It worked great until one day someone told him the police were looking for him. He dug a hole on his property and buried the car. Problem solved!

Personally, I have found the only way to pursue what I want to do is live where I work. I need a lot of tools, a lot of materials, make a lot of noise and fire and I love living with it all. I don’t want to leave work, it is too interesting there.
