  1. This is dedicated to the new Road Olympic Champion, the California Cricket.

    Going back to California
    So many good things around
    Donýt wanna leave California
    The sun seems to never go down

    Some people may treat you ugly
    Some treat you beautiful too
    That's the way life is all over
    So look for the good things for you

    California - there is a good place to be
    California - that's where I'm feeling so free

    California - that is a good place for home
    California - I'll be back that be for long

    Interesting -- why is El Grillo a California cricket?

    "Il grillo" means "the cricket" and he's born, raised and had always been
    living in the coastal village of California, Tuscany.

    He's from the village of California, Italy.

    Very cool -- I didn't know about the California connection.

    Is that Northern or Southern California (I gather there is a political
    divide) ?

    Yes -- the divide is near the SF/San Mateo County line between N. and
    S. California, USA.

    However Il Grillo is from California, Italy; as schooled to us by
    Tosi.

    I remember reading that 5 weeks ago, and was like "Word!" Carl.
    I never said the line is completely, latitudenally horizontal.

    Uh, yeah ... Santa Cruz is in "Southern" California.

    Geographically, I suppose it is, as the midway point along the coast is
    around Half Moon Bay ... But politically, Santa Cruz is NorCal ... And
    Sacramento is SoCal.

    I just remembered that it mentions this at the top of Bettini's
    Cyclingnews diary. Check it:

    LOL. California tribalism has now progessed to where the
    Marinoids are kicking the Peninsula out of Northern California.
    Brings a new edge to the Stanford-Berkeley rivalry I guess.

    Politically, Santa Cruz is in one of those 11 extra little rolled up
    dimensions that string theory physicists like Ed Witten are always
    going on about.

    I wrote a paper on G. William Domhoff, who teaches psychology at UC Santa
    Cruz. He's quite an eminent psychologist, but he also continued the work of
    prominent Marxist sociologist C. Wright Mills. He wrote extensively, in the
    '70s, about the way the US is really run by a plutocracy of powerful
    individuals who control all of American politics and the minds of the
    country's inhabitants...

    In other words, Santa Cruz is indeed pretty strange.

    -Sonarrat.

  16. Why would we need to split the state at the "exact" North-South
    half-way point? Perhaps just below Monterey to just below Yosemite
    would work...

    Or for that matter, we could split the state East/West. Perhaps along
    Interstate 5...

    Or the state can just fumble along like it always has...

    Did this plutocracy make him say that?
