I am concerned with the shopping cart wheel lock technology that prevents shopping carts from being removed from the parking lots. How will the bums haul their s***t around now?

I felt a 4.5 earthquake today. This is my first and I wasn’t sure, at first, if it was one but the room was shaking vertically and horizontally for 5-8 seconds. The epicenter was 54 miles away near the San Andreas Fault. An aftershock with a magnitude of about 3.3 occurred an hour later but I didn’t feel that.
I have always wanted to try chicken and waffles from Roscoe’s. Since I am in LA; I decided to give it a try. I wish I could say it was worth a Wingsday review.
I was first introduced to the bird and batter by Snoop Doggy Dogg on his show “The Dogg Father”. You see, Snoop tries to get at the chicken while his wife tries to make him stop eating greasy foods, but Snoops chubby assistants gets the chicken for Snoop. Well, the good news is, the chicken is not greasy and the waffles aren’t either.
I ordered the “Country Boy”, which is three, count’em, three chicken wings and one regular waffle [special batter, whatever]. This would be one damn skinny country boy! I ordered this because it was cheap at 8-9 dollars. They say happy cows come from California; I’m willing to bet the chickens are happy to be worth that much and how do you even put a price on batter. This meal had no substance. Sure, I could have ordered the whole chicken, but at what cost?
I’m sorry, but in my opinion, this restaurant is all hype. The irony is, the location I visited is built right next to a Kentucky fried chicken. I can’t decide which place is worse.
Dissi’n on the chicken,

Los Angeles has the best Chinese food. The Chinese have gathered in China Town [naturally] which is near where I work in West LA. The food is as authentic as if you were in China only better. How, you ask? Ancient Chinese secret. The restaurants prepare food that is specific to different parts of China; North China, South China, Canton and so forth. The service is great, the portions are satisfying and the meal comes with tea, soup, rice and main dish for $4.75. I’m stuffed by the time I leave and including a tip, I’m out the door for less than a super-size value whatever. The difference is, the food is healthy. Lean meat and plenty of vegetables and anti-oxidants in the tea insure a longer life than a fatty burger, but I love that too. I also love the bean sauce or salty beans. It is like Chinese ketchup. So, if your in LA, stop your rickshaw at a restaurant on the streets from Atlantic to Garfield off the 10 and treat yourself to some fresh, authentic Chinese food. But be warned; you will never want to eat Chinese food from the mall again. -Mike
I just read that a magnitude 3.0 earthquake happened at 7:57 Pacific time while I was talking to my wife. I didn’t feel it. I am about 16 miles away and the event occurred 8.4 miles beneath the Earths surface . As I recently learned after moving to SoCal, earthquakes happen about a dozen times a day. The faults are really active here. It’s that whole ring of fire thing.
So, I have something to watch now besides hurricanes and tornadoes.
