Albertson's

When we arrived in L.A., we stayed in Ruby's first cousin Maricel and her husband Flix.
The two were very gracious, and perhaps patient, to host our pleseant stay in LAThey stayed in an apartment near Del Amo Plaza, in Torrance, at the junction of Hawthorne and Torrance Boulevard.
We became a little familiar with the area.
The apartment we stayed was quite a convenient and cozy place to stay.
First, it was so breezy, and cool all day.Even when the Valley area reached the hundreds, the heat was bearable in the place we stayed.There was a grocery store nearby, called Albertson.I couldn't forget this store because it was the first time I saw an automated cashier.This means the cash registers were no longer manned by humans.
Not all of the cash registers, though.This signals a revolution in grocery shopping.
Are we going to see the day when no humans will man the cash registers?Joshua was so fascinated, that he kept on swiping the items we purchased.

.In Torrance There is a hsopital along Earl Street, just a few meters from teh apartment where we stayed.The hospital is just near the Hawthorne-Tourrance Boulevard intersection.
Neat hospital, run by Catholic nuns (obviously).I heard it was its newly refurbished, having been teken over by a new owner.
It's got a cozy chapel that is so spiritually invitingBy the way, its nourishing on's sense of spirituality appears to be a bit more challenging for those residing in the U.S.That is what I have observed.
Working in the U.S. makes many live like slaves---to their work.If work happens on a sunday, chances are, its going to be a rain check for the regular Sunday church.There are of course several other hospitals in Torrance.
There are the Harbor-UCLA county hospital and Torance Memorial.
