Kristen - Californians are sort of sheltered when it comes to stuff like that. Most of them grew up in places that have been so urbanized for so long that they don't experience "rural" life ever. Most people don't hunt either. If they do, they don't live in the City, but in the foothills. This is an interesting area because there is the Bay Area and "the city" - referring to San Francisco. Then there is Sac, which is still a "city" but more conservative and Very Much "in transition" as I like to say. Then you move toward the Sierra's where there are "historic societies" that are really a collection of good 'ol boy rednecks that drink a lot and hassle minorities. There are even hidden towns that are so protective of "their land" that they will meet a stranger on the road with a shot gun to tell them that "they don't want their kind in these parts".

Anywho...Matt - I'm going by air. Driving takes way too long and I don't have enough PTO or the desire to make that drive again anytime soon. And, you said you, Jeff and Sreyoshi? I missed something - when did Sreyoshi leave NC?
