Oakland
Well, we made it to Oakland okay. Our flights were decent, not too much turbulence or anything. I made it without being sedated, my fear of flying seeming to have largely dissipated.
The one anecdote I have to relate from today is this: As we were driving along the highway after picking up our rental we were stopped, waiting to merge, right next to a patch of scrub brush. Glancing over, I noticed that there were dozens of goats grazing. Right next to the highway.
I come from Pennsylvania, the most rural state, and I have not seen anything comparable. This is why I love California.

In California, they have goats. In Austrailia, they have kangaroos. In Pennsylvania, we have deer. Dozens and dozens of deer. Take a drive through Valley Forge park some time.
Dude, I have, and you don't get three dozen deer grazing by the side of the highway, trust me.
Obviously you guys don't live near where I do. We have a herd of probably two dozen deer right near our neighborhood, and four or five other nearby herds.
Sorry boys, I think China and I still win. The sea of goats (no kidding there were like 1000) movie though out camping site in the Pamir mountains. And the yaks chasing us in Tibet, oh yeah that was freaky. They had freakishly scary horns! We ran for our fuckin' lives, I didnt want to be impaled by one of them! *Shudder*
umm doug, sorry but you are wrong about the deer not grazing by the side or the road or near people..i live in valley forge park..and i often see both, in fact i have seen deer grazing across a road (a heard of probably 15 just parked on the road and surounding grass. that was funny.
Dudes: I'm not saying that deer never graze near the highway. I know they do, as evidenced by the bodies you see by the road. I'm saying that you just don't get three dozen of them at a time. So far, none of you have proved me wrong.
Spork does win, though.
