S. isn't feeling well today. I think she may be getting the flu. Both of us have gotten a flu shot, but those things don't work every time. Tonight she asked me if I would go to Target and get her a heater for the bedroom. She has an electric blanket, but she is a woman and being snuggled up warm in the bed isn't enough. So I ventured out into the fridgid southern California fall evening air in my short sleeves and rode with my windows down to Target. After several laps around the store looking for space heaters I finally asked for a bit of help. I nearly laughed out loud when I had one of what I am sure will be many "Welcome to Southern California" moments. With a straight face, the clerk asked, "What's a space heater?"

Its a sad day in the southland. I sold my mint 1994 Mitsubishi Galant ES. I know, I was a bit cavalier with my use of the word "mint" there, but it was my car for about 3 and a half years. I got a little bit attached to her. She will be sorely missed. Since I have been here, I have replaced a timing belt, EGR Valve Solenoid, and Catalytic Converter. She had a good run, but it was time to move on. Even though it was time, it was kinda hard to hand over the keys. I'm going to miss that car.

There are some things required to continue living, and there are things with which you may consider your life complete. Then there are things that make you wonder if you have 'seen it all". The Roadium is one such thing - or place as the case may be. We live near this freak of modern life and have been wondering what lay beyond the gates, but we only built up the courage to enter the gates of Mordor last weekend. Inside was nearly everything. No. Really. EVERYTHING. If a person were born at the Roadium, they may never actually need to leave the Roadium. It is the flea market's flea market. It is where swap meets go when they die. You can literally find anything necessary for modern life for sale at the Roadium. The thing that brought me to conclude that the Roadium is your "One Stop Shop for Gangland Livin'" was when I found the booth that sold coffins. You can actually buy formula for your baby and prepare for your final expenses only a few shopping isles away from each other. I was actually shocked to see caskets so close to the booth selling guns until I considered how appropriate it was. Think about it. I live in the freakin' ghetto. This isn't south-central, but I live on the wrong side of Redondo Beach Blvd between Normandie and Crenshaw. It is completely appropriate that baby formula, guns, and caskets would be sold in the Roadium. It is Ghetto Fabulous.
