Chip'n'Dale rescue rangers

Mr.Fritz is an angel. Golden Gate Bridge angel. He is a part of official Bridge Patrol, who talks with people on the edge. In several years Fritz talked off jumping hundreds of people. Everyday he is riding his tiny three-wheel vehicle along the main symbol of San Francisco. He says the people who want to jump - jump, the others just really need to talk with someone and that what he is there for.

A mile, a whole mile of swimming in a freezy, wavy ocean waters is a test for future lifeguards - the first who hit the finish are given the job. We didn't make it to the famous Malibu Beach to the gang of guys in red bathing suits. But even more famous Venice Beach of LA was on our way, so we got to talk with "ocean watchers" there. So after the swim test the strongest get 10 days of intensive training on a life-saving knowledge.

Lifeguard towers are situated along the beach with half a mile frequency. Sometimes it is getting rough especially in summers, when it is a lot of people. And if extra help needed around particular station the Beach Patrol car is always at service. It brings an additional rescue surf-board, red cans and a pair of strong hands (legs and so on).

Tracing the curvy roads in Hollywood Hills we go to the Griffith Observatory. This is where we have learnt about "light pollution".

Robert is one of the Observatory-museum members who stands for night sky being clear from an extra artificial light. He takes care of 80 years old telescope there and he loves stars. The stars which are up, not the ones which are sleeping in shiny Hollywood down the hill. Robert works in this museum for many years, and knows maybe as much as a real astronomer, answering visitors' questions. We got enchanted and stood our line to the Zeiss Telescope, our reward was the clear view of Saturn with rings and things )).
