People keep saying what happens in California is a frontrunner for what will happen elsewhere the next year.

Who would have thought this would happen in an area as mundane as buying gasoline for your car?  I was surprised to see a full service gas pump service in Los Angeles.  I mean an air how, windshield washer and someone to pump the gas.  I really do not put much value on someone else pumping my gas.  It is nice to have access to a windshield wiper and cleaning liquid.  Again, I can do that myself.

What I wanted was a way to get air in my tires when they are low.  And I got it.  In case you question my comments, I took the picture below of a return to the basics in one more area of our lives.
