quite a joy ride ping!
I tell ya, living in Southern California sure is wacky. The news is so interesting and strange. The car crashes are multi-car, usually include an overturned or jack-knifed semi and a bus, and often they crash into buildings. Many times the car crashes include at least one flaming vehicle. And this is on dry roads, when it rains, the freeways turn into Destruction Derbies. I almost hate to turn on the noon news, so many wacky people out here! But I have met some Great Freepers in California, too!
