I'm not looking forward to having to take off the light fixtures in my house, but it needs to get done (or at least started today) I'm moving to Pomona later this month. The housing market here in Riverside is one of the worst in the United States. Las Vegas Nevada is also pretty bad.

Driving to the supermarket. It's still hot. 95F (35C)

Ralphs is the closest supermarket to my house. It's pretty big and very popular in Southern California.

This particular Ralphs is pretty clean, fully stocked and organized. it's open 24 hours a day. There is a Pharmacy in the back where you can call ahead to have your prescriptions filled. This pharmacy closes at 7pm, but here are some that are open 24 hours a day too.

The book section is full of generic beauty magazines with a few good auto tuner, tattoo, motorcycle and word puzzle magazines. some popular and romance novels can be found here as well.

 There are 2 giant aisles of chips. Im standing about half way down this one. Decisions, decisions..

Aside from shopping carts or carrying baskets for your groceries, most large supermarkets here like Ralphs, Vons and Albertertsons provide electric carts for the elderly and handicapped. Although i mostly see them being used by people like this guy. This is a perfect example of obesity in the United States. I'm not sure if this helps obese people or if it enables them, shouldn't they at least walk a little to get their food? What do you think?

There are 4 giant aisles of soda.

Baked goodies made fresh daily.

You can get fried chicken, potato salad or any other basic deli needs here.

This Ralph's also has a bank inside. Union Bank is a small franchise compared to  Bank of America or Wells Fargo

Back home just in time to make a quick lunch.

Now i'm back to wrapping, packing, taking down light fixtures and moving some furniture to the front of the house for easy removal once i get the U-Haul truck and some friends to help me.
