I worked in a massive subdivision, for a "Christian" guy, who always lectured, and listened (and made us) to lecturing broadcasts ~ yum yummie ~ but anyway he always wanted me to cut corners and cheat, and I had to install literally hundreds of Avocado and Harvest Gold drop-in oven ranges. I hated them. He and they fit together so well. I think I was damaged. I spent half my time hating him, and the other half thinking, "WHO is the PERSON who would WANT anything THIS color, and WHY am I working for THEM? What kultur am I living in?" I finally got a speeding ticket, racing, on threat of termination, to another of his jobs, and killed him.

The house I grew up in was built in sixty-seven. The first frij and range were actually the third color in the Unholy Triad of 70s decoration schemes. This brownie-mix brown, with almost-black edges as if the syrup had fled to the margins and not baked. Devil's food. "Coffee"? The apt. we took when we were decanted upon the Golden State had a lot of avocado trim. And the carpet was the same color. Living in such an environment (with the faint but indescribably unsettling stink of mothball, cat and Winstons oozing thru the floorboards from the oldtimers below) was not good for long-term mental hygiene. The wallpaper in one of the bathrooms just totally took the cake. It was avocado, lemon yellow, black, bright purple and silvery-aluminized in about equal proportions. With the CA habit of installing these real intense photon torpedo "heat lamps", it was like someone had slid weird mushrooms into the morning Nestle's Quik. Kinda tough on the synapses. Constipating.
