Decades of working in Los Angeles and Riverside counties prior to relocating to the mountains had never been a vacation. Lot of traffic, people, problems, demanding boss types, cut throat contractors, high consumable costs, etc. Never had much of a vacation working here even when at the beach in Malibu. Oh yeh! Forgot to mention the gangs and the crack heads trying to jack your stuff and your rig. Been there! One Glock for each boot and a spare clip in your leatherman pouch. Didn't need the leatherman knife as if was essentially useless against the Bloods or the Crips. Some guys had small mirrors inside their hoods to see what was going on behind them more readily. Welcome to South Central! Did you bring your body armor today?
