Sadly, there was a death in the family, so John and I spent a few days in Stockton. Between the various family events and comfort, we got a chance to drive around Stockton and Lodi, again reminding us all that Stockton has to offer.
The majority of national and state political signs on lawns were pro 8 and Mccain/Palin in nature. The pro republican signs were unusual, because since Stockton is the foreclosure leader in the U.S., I figured they would put some blame on the economic situation with the party currently in the White House. Well, I was mistaken. On Sunday and Monday, many of the street corners were filled with children brandishing large Yes on 8 signs. And lots of cars honking in agreement.
Then we were behind this guy for a little bit. I thought his truck was broken, but according to John, it is “cool” that your truck tilts from one side to the other and occasionally sprouts flames. Who knew?

Well, John and the guy driving the truck for starters.
Chris – sorry, who in the family passed away?
The funeral was for my Step Dad, my Mom’s husband. Only married two years. Makes me shake my fists in impotent rage to think about the unfairness of it all.
On a brighter note, I did get to see some sick-ass truck with hydraulics and a sparkler!
