Bakersfield, CA

It was another long day of driving today and we pulled into the Bakersfield Walmart just after dark. The store had moved o the parking lot was deserted. It was Halloween night but the rowdies must have been busier somewhere else because except for a couple of fire trucks and police cars racing by in the middle of the night, it was very peaceful. I walked over to a Carl’s Jr. to pick up some food to go and practiced a little of my Spanish on Juan, the clerk. He seemed very surprised that  a white guy was speaking (terrible) Spanish to him but he quickly recovered and was very nice. I was surprised than there was little off air TV in Bakersfield. We searched around but found only three digital signals that faded in and out.
