Hermosa Beach (CA) meter maids making nearly $100K? We gotta think bullet train conductors will pull down at least $500K, more if CA actually builds the bullet train. Hey, it’s only taxpayer money – there’s more what that came from!

  • That's more money than I ever made as a nurse, with a degree and scads of experience. Silly me! I should have blown off college and become a meter maid in California!

    • Please, not even in jest; Lest he whose name shall not be spoken hears you summoning him. That will bring him slithering from his dark, dank lair known as MOMMIES BASEMENT, and demand your CHEETOS.

          • Besides. No one thing is going to kill you (except poison or a gunshot, or stabbing, but you kknow what I mean!) For every sick ol;d person there is one who lived to be over a hundred, ate terribly never excercised (beyond regular activites of daily living. And there's also some crackpot who ran parathns, and ate sprouts and was dead a 45. ( Anyone remember that Runner guy Fox who died of a heart attack with no elevated cholesterol, marathin runner, vegetarian, etc) and most of us fall somewhere in the middle. Enjoy your life, enjoy your food, respect your body and at least do the minimum to keep it goinf ( I mean, you do it for your car!) and when its your time, you go. Period.
