My son turned 4 this year and as he has gotten older he has also become more aware of what's "really" going on. Television commercials are totally capable of direct marketing to him and it just ropes him in. He has already asked...

berlong Bunnyhoover, I suppose you are right. From now on I will try to view it as not being trapped, just vastly surrounded by the desert! ! LoL. No you are right though. California really does have everything, I never really thought about it like that. I can't wait...
