There was no dining room so we were given food on a plate and went into the living room to eat it. I took one bite and headed for the kitchen and water. It was the hottest food I had ever had and maybe even to this day. Others did the same. They said to just keep eating, we would get used to it and then we would be able to appreciate it. And that was true.
Maybe after a year or two not sure, Jerry did not get reassigned at the university. He needed a job and so found one at El Segundo in the South Bay of Los Angeles. The whole family had to move down there. I remember we all piled into MaryM's Volkswagen to go down to El Segundo to visit Jerry, Jan and the kids. It was pretty crowded in the back although I being MaryM's companion got the passenger seat to myself in front. We may have switched seats for agitation relief but don't remember. In the back seat sat SusieQ, Marko, Edward and Agea. That is about a seven hour drive, four people squished into the back seat. Now that I recall I think we stayed at SusieQs parents house who lived in Venice near the beach. We got to go swimming but it was too cold for me, maybe my first time in the Pacific. About all I remember of El Segundo was the smell of oil and oil refineries. Because of the crowded car someone may have taken the bus back to SF, which would have been Marko and SusieQ. Marko was also from down there.
