Traffic was bad. Sometimes I went weeks, even months without driving my own car.
Some are slaves to fashion, but it seems like everybody I saw was dressed exactly alike.
People complain about the prices, but I found some real bargains. Haircuts were only $1.20.


Pretty sneaky.....

Yeah, but something tells me you didn't have much say in picking out the location.
E, did not really clarify what neighborhood he was living in at the time, but i am willing to bet, that just maybe he was stationed at a marine base in so-cal. hence, the getting up very early most every morning, dressing like every body else and cheap haircuts. ahhhhh...those were the days.

San Diego, Camp Pendleton and Twentynine Palms.
There was a sign in the chow hall: "Take all you want, eat all you take."
Some of the best chow I ever had in uniform was over at NAB Coronado during an overnight visit.
