    Go ahead and visit Mecca. Then tell me it is an American city.

    It's a piece of Mexico that got UPS delivered on doubles and dropped in the desert.

    Okay. That may be harsh, but, I was just making a descriptive point. I live in Thermal, the next town over. There is no expectation to know English in these places.

    It's actually kind of interesting to get the "immigrant" experience. People look at me strangely, I don't speak very well, the neighbors are always looking, but never approaching.

    Craigslist is where the bottom feeders advertise for the lowest possible price

    Totally get that, just trying to think of ideas so I don't blow through savings while looking for a job.

    Maybe a bread company would 1099 me? *shrug*

    9 posts deleted for politics.

    We have a section for that. Whoever wants to discuss the pros and cons of California in that context can feel free to start another thread there.

    Carry on.
