    Maybe they just don't fail so utterly at planning their day that they have to drive like idiot children.

    I'm talking up to 10 below the limit (because I'm a few below myself to keep the fuzz at bay), going well below advisory speed for the hairpins, and not using turn offs to let cars behind pass :bailey:

    I don’t fail at planning my day. I just like to drive fast. Also, children don’t drive, let alone idiot children. I drive like a NASCAR driver.

    Also, whoever decided there should be a gap on the 1 Freeway between Watsonville and Monterey should be hung by the thumbs :brood:

    oh. Well that’s the 1 for you. It’s a freeway. A road. An Avenue. And cliff into the ocean.

    Be warned: No liquor in the grocery stores, and no pumping your own gas.

    But, no sale tax, so there's that.
    And it's green. So fucking green.

    but the eastern part is pretty dry - high desert sagebrush and whatnot.

    Anyway all this California talk reminds me of this:

    My daughter just moved to San Diego (she was living in Memphis) and it's way safer and cleaner than LA or San Francisco. She'll only be there for a year or so most likely, but I think she'll enjoy the place.

    sometimes you never know what weird kinds of food might turn out to be great. I'll mention the fries burrito to my daughter and tell her to research it - her and her hubby might get a kick out of it.

    I'll order tacos 100 times before I order a burrito, but fries in a burrito sounds better to me than rice. :shrug:

    I dunno if that was the case, bit it's just A Thing™ here.

    Despite being called the California burrito, no one north of the 805 freeway has heard of it and they look at you funny for even suggesting such a thing.

    I survived the 299 :bergman:

    Also, managed to avoid the CHP and successfully duck back into Oregon :yes:
    Now I just gotta give the OSP the slip, but they're easier to spot :?:
