Nearby is New River, things are even more... rustic there

One of My Chiropractors had “Fred” from Medical School in the Office. Fred was quite the fashionista- He had several different hats, ties and sunglasses that He rotated out.
I suggested that Fred needed some Bermuda Shorts and an Umbrella Drink.
He was during the year he spent out west. Then he went back to New York. Better restaurants.
There was this shop in North Oakland (CA) called The Bone Room, full of animal and some human skeletons. Moved to Albany, CA, then down to Los Alamitos, CA.

They do sell human bones, skulls included (normal and pathological). Fascinating place.
LoL!
My mirth rises at it!
