Pinky, You're Not In Utah Anymore

In case I ever forget where I am (although, really, how could I forget that? I'm in paradise!), there are plenty of reminders to let me know that we're not in Utah anymore, Toto. In LA, it's not just the occasional drive-thru window that's open 24 hours a day - you can find anything you're looking for any time of the day or night. Today I saw a Sushi restaurant, a Rite Aid, and a grocery store all open 24/7. In Utah, you'd be hard pressed to find anything more than a 7-11 open later than 10 p.m. Nothing makes me happier than seeing a Jack in the Box - especially when it's down the street and on my way to the freeway. They've got new things on the menu (like a grilled cheese sandwich) and this yummy strawberry soda. Delish!

Alcohol being sold in the stores? Even on Sunday? Glory glory! It's the simple things in life that make me happy. Not having to go to the dreaded liquor store in Utah is definitely up there on the list.
