So like a knucklehead (no comments please, I know) I show up to work this morning in my usual garb.
A shirt a light pullover and a pair of shorts you know L.A business attire in Hollywood.
And low and behold someone forgot to tell mother nature I was in L.A. It was effing freezing wind blowing off the snow topped mountains and the cold was going straight to my bones. I tough it out until lunch.
We head to one of our favorite eatery's for lunch and it happens to be across the street from an athletic sports attire store. I mosey over and to my surprise the first thing I see is Panthers, Bronco's and RAMS yes the same Rams that when my son and I would walk into a sports affiliated store in the past we would giggle as we looked for Ram swag usually finding maybe one thing, sometime it would be a small sticker or a dusty old cap behind 12 Raider caps etc.....
Now they had a table and a clothing rack filled with Ram Swag right as you walked in the door both St Louis and L.A. I thumbed through a few shirts and caps and then I saw the hoodies hmmm I can put 1 and 1 together with the best of them (any more than that I am lost) hey I am FREEEZING and there are Brand new L.A Ram hoodies sporting Blue and Gold, It's a match made in heaven right? I ask the girl working excuse me miss, miss what do you want for the Ram hoodie? she pauses and says $70.00 dollars. I nearly choke on whatever is left of the Taco I just finished and said I bet you couldn't give this stuff away a month ago!
Anyway I left the store unwilling to part with my lunch money and came to realize if the L.A public isn't ready for the Rams then the L.A Ram marketing machine and local retailers are.
I am bundling up tomorrow my Ram friends and yes I know it probably wasn't cold to those of you living in other areas of the country but you are smart enough to dress appropriately.
