What’s next for Schwarzenegger? MICHAEL R. BLOOD AP Political Writer
LOS ANGELES The Terminator always said he’d be back. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is sifting through a stack of corporate, Hollywood and real estate offers as the celebrity politician nears an inevitable career crossroad: On Monday, he’s out of a job. His next act? After seven years in Sacramento, the former strongman and film star will by his own account hit the speech circuit, keep a hand in political activism and possibly write the autobiography that publishers have wanted him to do for years. Schwarzenegger says he even might get back into acting if the right script comes along — presumably one appropriate for a 63-year-old father of four with political baggage, advancing age lines and a tinge of gray. “Will I still have the patience to sit on the set and to do a movie for three months or for six months, all of those things? I don’t know,” the governor tweeted in October in a rare exchange about his future plans. Spokesman Aaron McLear says

Food Truck Lot, Basement Tavern pair to make Tuesdays hip
LOS ANGELES The main highway between Southern and Central California was shut Sunday in both directions as blowing snow and ice from another winter storm made driving conditions treacherous. The Grapevine area of Interstate 5 was closed indefinitely around 1 p.m. after cars began sliding in lanes, said California Highway Patrol Officer Ed Jacobs. No major crashes were reported. Vehicles were being detoured onto routes 14 and 58 through Lancaster and Mojave, though snow was also falling there, Jacobs said. Winds were gusting to 90 miles in mountain areas and snow was accumulating at elevations as low as 1,500 feet.

MAIN STREET After a brief zoning misstep, the Santa Monica Food Truck Lot has returned — this time in the parking lot of the California Heritage Museum. The event, which takes place every Tuesday (barring torrential rain), boasts a rotating lineup of gourmet food trucks from the area. The food trucks at the Food Truck Lot were well-attended last Tuesday night, a feat considering the chill. The
crowd picked up as the night went on, as people milled about perusing the different truck offerings. The atmosphere was jovial as people asked advice of strangers, making sure that they were making the most informed decisions. In attendance were seven trucks: Mighty Boba, Komodo, The Feast Truck, Lake St. Creamery, India Jones, Lobstatruck and Chef Che. The clear winner of the night was the Lobstatruck. By the end of the night, they had a line that was so coiled as to make it difficult to find the end (I
accidentally skipped the line twice). The main attraction was the lobster roll, which can be ordered with either butter or mayo. I ordered it with mayo, but I have it on good authority that the roll with butter was also fantastic: the perfect balance of richness and sweetness. Another big winner was Chef Che, an Argentine food truck. They were serving up some of the staples of Argentine cooking, such as steak marinated with chimichurri (a cilantroSEE FOOD TRUCKS PAGE 8
