I don't think he had a car being worked on.

So I woke up this morning with determination to get some errands done, get a hair cut, the oil changed in the truck and then get spruced up for one of my long time family friends wedding.

I went to Fantastic Sam's, classy for sure, and the lady that cut my hair was a Latina, maybe late 40's. She was wearing this light perfume, but was distinct enough to differ from the scent of hair product that lingered in the air. I was the first customer of the day and I guess it was a good thing because she was super bubbly and really seemed like she loved what she does, would it have been different if she had been there all day already and I was the last customer?

While she was giving me the chop, I asked if she had been doing hair for a while and she went into her entire background of cutting hair. She told me about how she use to cut Oscar De La Hoya's hair in some LA shop, he use to drive a Camaro and I guess Oscar use to do quite a bit of TV appearances. We then went into a story about her chiuaua and how her husband is still working on the potty training and that the dog is very dependant. She kept showing me on my shoulder how the dog uses his paws to let her know he needs something. Quite the haircut.

After the haircut I went to the Penzoil shop on the corner of Hewes and Chapman. I needed to get it in for an oil change because I think I was 1,000 miles over due. The guys in the shop looked like they were still hung over from new years and didn't look too thrilled to be at work.

I filled out the paper work inside and there was this older man sitting in the lobby watching some infomercial about how to get rich off of this stock trader tip system, I didn't pay attention too long. I then went over to the 7-11 to get my daily fix on sugar free red bull, because right now they have a 2 for $3.33 on 8 oz cans. While I was being rung up for my long time caffeine addiction, two Mexican day workers started throwing blows with each other in the parking lot. The cashier kept going about business asking me how I have been because back in the day when I worked the late shift at Costco, I would stop in and get a cheeseburger taquito and a NOS energy drink and he would usually be the one manning the store.

While avoiding the brawl outside, I headed back over to Penzoil to pick up the truck, almost getting hit in the intersection. When I returned to the lobby the old man was still sitting there watching TV, talking to himself about how genius the product is and asking no body why hadn't anyone thought of this before. I don't think he had a car being worked on.
