I am not interested in what a person thinks of toast. Your blog on the other hand is VERY interesting and a pleasure to read. I do have a few comments though.LA and California with rain. Yes...we are scared of it. Most of California is a desert...at least southern California is. You want a real treat...snow in the South, like North Carolina and especially in northern Virginia, near Washington DC where I live. Northern Virginia's seem to think that because the state of Virgina is a Southern state and sided with the Confederacy during the Civil War (or as some schools still call it the "War of Northern Aggression") that they are somehow magically immune to getting snow. When the news says we have a storm coming and we are getting snow it seems that EVERYBODY goes out and prepares for Armageddon. I am an Army veteran and was stationed in Colorado. Knowing what snowfall is truly like I find this behavior hilarious. What we get is insignificant compared to what I have seen and considered a "normal winter".If you ever get to make it out to this area you'll see some interesting things. We have lots of museums and monuments being that it's the capital of the country and all but you will see what I call an odd study in contradictions. Being not a native of the area I found how things contradicted each other here. We have the metro rail system and great bus schedules here but we also have some of the worst traffic problems here then I have ever seen. You see a lot of "eco-friendly" business and stores here but they don't use said public transportation or even carpool because "I make enough money to drive in and pay for parking". It's about a 50/50 split if they drive a hybrid or some kind of gas guzzler. Had one guy said he why he drove this thing...I want to say he said it was a Unimog is because he could afford it and wanted to show people he had money and that he was an environmentally conscious because he is driving the same thing he drove when he volunteered to do disaster relief in Europe. Sad thing is he had a metro stop two blocks away from his store. I have nostalgia for things I drove long ago that I have good memories of but you won't see me driving around in a humvee or even worst some street legal version of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M3_Bradley" target="_blank">M3 Bradley</a> even if it would make traffic easier.</blockquote>
