Home Sweet Home

Signs that I am back in Southern California . . .

• Walking out of the airport to see cameras filming a commercial
• Sitting in LA traffic for over two and a half hours to travel forty miles because I made the mistake of arriving during rush hour
• People driving raised monster trucks and Hummers even though gas is over $4 a gallon here
• Grown men dressed like jr. high skater boys with sagging pants, spiked hair, and clunky skater shoes
• Overcast skies that are still bright and not gloomy (which makes all of the above worth it)
