Thereā€™s a very funny scene in the Movie Freebie and Bean circa (1974) starring Alan Arkin and James Caan. There were San Francisco detectivesā€¦and this one scene they were chasing some car and then theyā€™ve flew off the highway into apartment building - right into some old couples bedroom. Iā€™m paraphrasing nowā€¦But the conversation went something like this. Freebie and Bean step out of car and asks the couple if they could use their phone. Bean then gets on the phone and calls for a tow- truck. ā€œSend a truck to 5th and Irvingā€ (donā€™t remember the actual address). Then he opens the door of the apartment and says ā€œApartment 3Bā€. Iā€™m not doing the scene justiceā€¦but it was very funny. ---

I wonder how fast the car was going to sail 60-feet in the air and slam through a second story window. ---

Yep, flying high in Kalifornia. More to come. Always something. Riots, drought, fire, rain, mud slides, earthquakes. Gotta start to wonder if there is something in the water. ---
