California is really dark.

Yes, it is! That is all I can tell you about it so far. Also, there are like eight cars total traveling on the I-5 south tonight, which contributes to the total darkness. I am wholly looking forward to tomorrow, where California will have added attractions like DAYLIGHT and the legal right to pump my own gas!

Other interesting factoids learned:

1) Linn County, Oregon is the grass seed capitol of the WORLD. Really. A big sign said so. It also has sheep FOR DAYS, as far as the eye can see. There were little baby lambykins SO SMALL that I thought they were bunnies as I drove past. Can I be a shepherdess now, please?
