Bug splats = FUN
Got back from Northern California earlier this evening after a quick one-night stay up there. We (meaning Amy and I) visited fellow Ibexer, Ruth, who Amy roomed with in Israel. She lives in Ripon, which is just a bit north of the more well-known cityModesto, that mecca of movie-making magic (try saying that even 5 times fast!) where the beloved and much-maligned (is he?) creator of the Star Wars Universe, et al.
Anyway, we went up last night, got there around 10:30ish, watched The Incredibles, which is a GREAT movie. Then, I drove back to Modesto with Michael, Ruth's boyfriend, to spend the night. This morning we drove back to Ripon to pick up Amy, Ruth, and Heather and Abigail, who also came up with Ruth the day before. Our destination?

This place was amazing! I had the Shrimp Burrito Supreme. Let's just take a moment of silence for the satisfying sumptiousness of said food item...
OK, well, it was great. It was an island surrounded by an ocean of alleged "Green Sauce" and was topped by snow-like sour cream. I gobbled it up, ignoring the FULL warnings coming from my brain. Oh yeah, and we pigged out on a seemingly endless supply of corn AND flour tortilla chips with some spicy salsa.
Afterwards, I drove Amy, Heather, and Abigail back down Highway 99 to the Promised Land that is the Santa Clarita Valley. Tonight, Amy and I watched Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. Can you believe this? Amy didn't remember much about it and said the last time she saw it (and the only time) was when she was 10!!! That was way back in the 90s for goodness sake! After questioning her patriotism and her citizenship, we enjoyed Mr. Lucas' film that has changed the world. Ahh...sheer beauty at its best.

Since she was 10? oh wow... i dont know how to respond to that other to express my horror and shame at such a blatant display of communism! BTW, Lucas lives in Modesto? and he is much reviled? only by those trekkie morons i suppose. And for the record, the Promise Land is the Santa Maria Valley. Representin' 805!
