I have always thought my connections toย  Southern California or LA will remain only as the place I have almost have attended for Business School (UCLA) or the place where I have lots of people I know from various histories.

Hardly have I imagined to have a new connection, I was wrong to find my diehard Seattlite boy going to college to that place.

So now I have new collections on my Keychain Sticker boards as well as a new sun visor.
