Ditto - it was like having your own bunker and/or being on a game show every morning, i.e. "Let's see what's behind door #1 and #2!"
Or seeing what scraps [unconsumed beerski] were leftover from yesterday's inmates.

Nonetheless, it may have been a little 'rough' at the ASU housing, but I never saw a toothless gaggle of meth-heads wondering the streets beggin me for a buck, day or night.

LMAO! If we could Knight like in the 'good ol' days', this would qualify.

LOL. Good comeback. Probably keeps more pilot pay from going to child support also.

The things I saw would sound like lies... it would sound like what a comedian might make up. I saw a man with a lazy eye, with one eye looking at me and the other eye looking at what I was carrying in my plastic bag (maybe this is like robber vision?) I won't even go into it anymore.

Yeah, during my last sentence there, those things were junked at the north end of the main building... some missing tires, drive chain, seat, etc... none having AIR in the remaining tires. Very trailer park-like, but who's judging.

It was humbling to accept the roaches for having been there before you (kinda like the Indians), but being prepared with a can of the "spray" was key to overcoming this, just the same. Resistance was futile.

On the bright side, there's this new Asian shopping center near that little sector. Inside there's a few awesome authentic restaurants... as well as the most authentic Asian grocery store I've ever been to... you could buy anything from a hog snout to a live tilapia or eel from a tank. I remember the stench was overbearing.
