    One time we were driving home to Vancouver and videotaping out the car for some weird reason and we slowly passed an El Camino and the girl in the back flashed us. We pulled even and pointed the camera at her. She hadn't seen it before. When she did she got pissed and started screaming something at us and flipping us off.

    I tried to go to the water slides at Eastport once, but they had closed down shortly before, so I never made it. I don't remember mall 205 having water slides. My grandparents had a Montgomery Wards card so I used to go there with them when they bought me and my brother school clothes or shoes. We always loved going through the Wards catalog when we visited them circling all the toys we wanted for our birthdays or for Christmas.

    Why would I still partake if I thought it was overrated?

    That's good. I'm still out in the stores, selling beer. It's starting to normalize a bit. Here's a display a fellow sales rep and I did at FM Hawthorne this week:

    Hey, I was over last week when that display was first starting out as I needed to pick up a prescription. Found it a bit humorous that they were featuring Carona Beer in the display. Do you work for Freddy's or a beer distributor? My brother in law worked many years at Maletis Brothers until he switched over to Container Recovery which was co owned by Chris Maletis and a few other distributors.

    My aunt use to work there. She was stunningly beautiful. She got more tips than the rest of the car hops combined.

    I work for Columbia Distributing. It is a little funny to have so much CORONA, but it's gotta sell for Cinco de Mayo, right?

    Eat at Waddles often when I lived on a houseboat behind where kmart used to be. So I donated a lot of tip money to both your families bad habit funds. All the woman that worked there were easy to look at.

    My aunt worked there in the early 50s. I remember going with my parents to pick her up after work. She would give me a sugar cube or two.
