This post is directed mostly at the Ohana who live in the San Diego - L.A. area, so apologies to anybody who doesn't know what I'm talking about.

Anybody who has driven on I-5 between L.A. and the Mexico border, has probably seen those large pickups precariously stacked 25 feet high, carrying mattresses, car parts, clothes, toys, and any other junk that can be piled on. The trucks are hauling the stuff to Mexico to resell or reuse. Most of it comes from God-knows-where throughout Los Angeles.

I've often wonder if any of those trucks are hauling Tiki. Odds are that some stuff like aloha shirts, mugs, etc. find their way into those trucks, and down to Tijuana. Has anybody ever actually looked for our found tiki south of the border? Is there a market for the stuff? I've never found anything down there except for those ceramic surfing monkeys... but then I haven't been to Tijuana in years. The place has gotten way too dangerous.
