I think California produces more milk than here in Wisconsin. We do make a LOT of cheese though.

That must have been a hell of a big block of cheese to make a 4-hour road trip cost-effective.  :rofl:

I live in Sunnyvale, Ca, and aside from being the so called Heart of Sllicon Valley ('aint ever seen any sillycone (sic) around here) there is a ghost inhabiting one of the toy stores. I've never heard or seen him myself....

"A long standing legend of Sunnyvale is of a ghost that haunts the town's Toys 'R' Us store. A purported psychic, Sylvia Browne, claimed to have made contact with the ghost on the 1978 TV show "That's Incredible" and named him Johnny Johnson. This story was also explored in a 1991 episode of "Haunted Lives: True Ghost Stories". Furthermore, she stated that he had been a farm hand who worked in the orchard where the toy store now stands and that he bled to death from an accidental, self-inflicted axe injury to his leg."

A perfectly plausible scenario, to be certain. Yeah, I can see that happening.

Chicago is the windy city, although it is very windy most of the time, it got that name from all the hot air blown about by the politicians.
