The Wheels on the Car ...


Our four-door Honda Civic hit 100,000 miles on the way back from to SLO from Fresno. Neither Sarah nor myself could recall ever having visited the lovely city before. This particular Fresnic journey was to see Sarah's brother Deven perform in a Steppenwolf play (he had a role that Gary Sinise originated) at Fresno State's Summer Arts program, and we also visited our friends the Ischs. Isches? Ischi? Jeremy and Leslie.

It's no San Luis Obispo, but Fresno wasn't as bad as everyone always makes it out to be. It was about 100 degrees outside, but it felt more like upper 90s. We'd go back.

The heat clearly got you, because it is WORSE than everyone says it is.

Noooo, don't listen to him! Go with your first impression. Bakersfield, however...

Great to see you guys. Next time, we'll take you to the paleteria nearby. You'll want to stay.

Fresno is the grape capital of the world... or is it raisins? that and the state FFA convention are all the city has going on..

arg...Bakersfield is only a few degrees warmer than Fresno, or, for better publicity, it's the third sunniest city in the US. (According to Eye Out for You 23 News covering a story about solar power.) Plus, people born in January live there, which we all know means...

It's like an armpit of the state, I think. Bakersfield is the other one.
