California and the IE
From Vandal Lane:
Why do I love California so much?...There's something about going to California that is so special. For the most part it's just the beauty and tranquility of reaching the coast. When you drive to California and finally make it to the coast, it's like you've come to the end of the world, because during the exploration days, everyone came from the east in Europe. Once you hit the Pacific Coast, there's the wide open Pacific Ocean and a new day begins (international date line) The sun setting into the ocean perfectly caps this off. The RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS explains it well: "It's the edge of the world / And all of western civilization / The sun may rise in the East / At least it settles in the final location" I don't know if what I've set made sense, but it's hard to explain in words...

I was married on April 1 (no foolin') and honeymooned in Big Bear. After a few days, we returned to Ontario - right in the middle of a 110 degree heat wave. We almost turned around and went back to the mountains.
