HOSE DOWN MY PANTS!! BLRK

The Los Angeles County Health Department rates eating establishments on a letter grade system. Most of them get A's, there are occasional B's. Today, driving to work, I passed the FILIPINAS EXCHANGE MARKET which had received a C. I'm not sure I'd ever seen a C before. Even accounting for the fact that many Filipino specialty foods seem designed to terrify anglo health inspectors (balut, diniguan, etc) this appears extreme. What the hell do you have to do in order to get a C? Store your potato salad at 75 degrees Fahrenheit? Overhead salmonella sprayers? Ceviche de vacas locas? It's terrifying.

Today's Vehicle Spotting was an old beat up sentra driven by an aging gangsta, bumpersticker: NE1469? I don't think so, P-Dogg.

How's everyone enjoying the depression er recession er SLOWER RECOVERY THAN ANTICIPATED??

I was reading a news article about people having to create their jobs, and a lot of new college/university grads being disappointed at having to work at Starbucks after getting their Liberal Arts degrees. I remember my mom working at the DMV in the seventies -- where 70% of her fellow workers were LA grads. Oops!

I was just wondering what people thought had changed so much since then to make a vague arts degree incredibly valuable without even a MAJOR. ?!??
