Please Induldge some California Musings

"I've neither sand enough left in me glass,
nor poetry enough in me heart to tell you
what is welling in me full breast," the
captain said. " But I'll warrant its the
fortune on my life to have stood shoulder
to shoulder with you three these recent hours."

* Traffic sucks
* Brian is the BOMB!!
* Patriotism is a GOOD thing!!

* Its humid!! a welcomed respite from our desert
* California has too many people, but with this comes a glorious selection of restaurants!
