The name of the city of Malibu comes from a Chumash Indian word, one of the few Chumash names that most people have heard of.

My town, Lompoc, is a Chumash word too, it means "small lagoon".

One of my pal's neighbours shot himself today rather than having to go to a senior home.  :viking:

On the negative side that means one gun owner less in Sweden.  :-\

Are senior homes really that bad over there? Was he terminally ill or losing his memory?   :chin:

They're not worse than in America, but a senior home is a senior home.  :thumbdn:

He seems just to have been unable to take care of his house etc.

It's too bad he couldn't have gotten housekeeping help, if that's all he needed.  ???
