Absolutely can relate. We were Texas Dust bowl people, “Grapes of Wrath” stuff. My Grandmother worked in a Sunkist Lemon packing house 1 block from our house in Upland.Lemon Groves across the street from our school. My Mom got hit by one in the face by some kid throwing one when she was driving down the street while driving with her window down. We’d sneak of and have Lemon/Orange fights as kids until the farmers would run us off. In La Mirada, I’d watch the Disneylad fire works from my back yard. My older brother worked at Knotts Berry Farm
Everyone worked at Knotts!! And I remember getting my butt beat for touching the lemons and oranges because they weren’t ours... but the fight beforehand was fun!
