  1. Most used clothes get donated to thrift stores, "poor" people can buy them there. I get most of my clothes there because the price is right. So thrift stores then get rid of the clothes no one buys, people buy big lots of clothes for cheap. Here in San Diego a lot of those clothes go south into Mexico. Goodwill has an outlet right on the border by the Otay crossing. A lot of people in poorer counties rely on those clothes. I used to live in Mexico and I'd buy the used clothes from the US because they fit me better and were cheaper than new Mexican clothes. I had the hardest time finding shoes down there, new or used, since one of my feet grew to a size 11, almost started wearing men's shoes.

  2. I've gone from Birmingham to San Diego and from San Diego to San Francisco by train. Both trips had serious delays but it's a nice way to travel. By air is too stressful for me, and the Greyhound is an absolute nightmare, to put it mildly.
