Jerry, where are you?

We live in Bakersfield, CA, at the south end of the San Joaquin valley. Home of thousands of almond trees, table grape vines, carrots, and oil wells. All of which would become thousands of horned toads, Mohave rattlesnakes, kit foxes and tons and tons and tons of hot dry sand in about two months if it weren't for the snow in the Sierra mountains. (Oh yes, the oil wells would probably survive!)

Aahhh, Bakersfield...I used to go antique shopping there, lived in L.A. for 26 years until the '94 earthquake.

Ahhhhhhh. I see. You traded the shaking ground for hurricanes, tornados, floods and thousands and thousands of college students in the spring!!! Golly Sandy, I'm not sure that is a very fair trade!
