California, Here We Still Are
Lordy.
You know how it is when you travel. There's so much to see and do, so many photos to snap, souvenirs to collect and stories to recount that one single blog posting can hardly do it all justice. Not to mention, you have to take some time to digest it all; for the real merit of travel lies not in the photos and historic sights and memorable meals but in the heart and soul behind it all.
Consequently, given that our trip is not yet over, this will be brief and cover only the highlights. You'll have to content yourself with that until I've had a chance to absorb it all.
Suffice to say, O Town is swell. Sling is a really lovely host. The first day he took us to the cannery, where we watched people skin stuff. We followed that up with a picnic by the smelter.
Later on, after a few beers, we went to the landfill and shot at rats.
It was awesome.

Cool! Rats, beer AND a picnic!
I miss you guys already!
I wish I'd remembered this before y'all set out--Cato's Ale House and Fenton's Creamery, both on Piedmont in O-Town. In hopes that Sling already knows of these fine establishments and was able to include them in your itinerary. Perhaps after rat-shooting...
Ohhhh! Rat shootin' at the dump! Hope you have video.
Oh sound like fun...did you ship the rats to Asia?..I might have had one for dinner last night. Yum
Smelters, rodents AND skinning? Well, gee, thanks very much Sling, now there's no point in Lorraine coming to London!
today i was driving back to work from the other office building i occasionally work at. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a sign that said, "Rat Cow milk". Of course, my brain did a rewind and I turned my head to actually read RAW cow milk as it was an organic farm I was passing.
anyway. don't shoot rats. We need their milk.
Sling, stop spoiling them like that! They're going to expect it from the rest of us now!
I"m envious! I think I'll plan a trip now to meet up with blog people and do fun stuff becuae I'm bored and you all are having beaucoups of fun!
Be careful if you haven't had a hunter's saftey course....
I'm doing that right after I take a typing course...
Sounds like one swell trip!
How do you cook rat?
mom:..leave out the tail.
