I was struggling to find a decently detailed map of the Valley so I could figure out the truck driver's itinerary, to make it last juat as long as I think it ought to. In the process I found:

A Geographer Looks at the San Joaquin Valley

Animated Winds of the San Joaquin Valley

San Joaquin Valley Disease

Everything but a road and city map

Agricultural Settlement

and a bunch of other stuff which I'm linking to here because I might find them useful later.

I have spent most of the day waiting for the nice fellow I married to get the hell off the computer so I could write a little. I just have to get up before he does on days he has off, especially when I have to go help out at Bingo like I do tonight. My daughter's band is trying to save enough money to go to Hawaii next spring, which is good for her, because she missed a paid ticket there this summer to stay with her grandparents (and grandMoher's coven) -- she needs her Japanese class and couldn't take so much time off from it.
Her bagpipe teacher called to check on her progress memorizing "Red Hector of the Battles."

I have to be done, even though I'm less than halfway through the chapter. I'll make up for it tomorrow, if I have to poison the nice fellow.
