Santee Lakes, CA

This shopping season has embittered some of the people in the various parking lots. We were in La Jolla at the movie theater (Today's Special) celebrating our 26 years together when someone scraped part of our 2008 Obama bumper sticker off our back bumper. They didn't touch our "I'm not afraid of Muslims, Tea Partiers, Immigrants, Gun Owners, Socialists, or Gays, but I am scared of SPIDERS" sticker. How can people think that's ok - touching another person's vehicle to remove a bumper sticker they oppose????

Then today again we were at a movie (The Tourist) [maybe we need to stop going to movies], when someone puts a note that said: "You are an asshole, How could you park this way at Xmas, I am reporting you to the parking lot security/attendants" under our window wiper. As most of you are aware, we own a very big and very long truck. It takes 2 spaces straight in to avoid leaving the rear end for people to hit as they go down the aisles.

On a brighter note, we stopped at 3 of the local Thrift stores (Salvation Army, Goodwill and a Catholic sponsored one) looking for books and VCR tapes (for the grandkids), and other items for temporary use here in Santee. These stores are very busy (the economy), have high quality of merchandise and a pleasant/orderly display.
