In the midst of all of the adobe, mission, and sante fe style architecture - which looked really cool when you first landed - you suddently realize that everything looks like taco bell.

If you're going to listen to Motown or Stax R&B, great albums are few and far between. ("What's Going On" doesn't meet the "good beat and you can dance to it" standard.) You learn to live, quite happily, with singles or compilations. Album-format snobbery screens out too much R&B before 1970 or so, rock before about 1967, and just about anything post 1995. It blocks out too much in my book. I reject the criticism of the compilation inclusion. If you’re going to listen to Motown or Stax R&B, great albums are few and far between.

Windex and Listerine are great too. And they kill fleas, ants, mosquitos in mid air. Listerine is probably the best antiseptic you can buy. Been using it on the dogs for 30 years.
