August 21, 2024 - Getting back into reading. When I was pretending to go to college (East Los Angeles College, 1969-1971), I read a lot. I had met some people in the English Department and there was a level of peer pressure to read the counter culture classics... Kerouac, Hesse, Brautigan, Huxley, Burroughs, Orwell, Heinlen, etc. I thought a lot of it was terrible (some of it I enjoyed), but I also thought maybe my 19 year old mind just couldn't understand the message. I have re-read some of it and some of it was just hippie bullshit.
Secretly, I was reading a lot of Steinbeck. I brought it up once and felt a bit of "looking down of the nose" and I felt maybe the books I enjoyed were too basic. I've spent a lot of time in the California Central Coast over the years. Starting in 1972, there was an annual trip to Laguna Seca Raceway to participate in the professional motorcycle race held there. Trips up Highway 101 to San Francisco to visit friends. Motorcycle rides alone and with friends up and down Highway 1. Monterey became and still is one of my favorite places and my daughter attended college at California State University Monterey Bay.
Getting back into some Steinbeck is like comfort food for me. Familiar places, familiar personalities, just the basic vibe of California from the window of my van or through the lens of my motorcycle helmet. There's a nice warm golden glow to both the California Central Coast and more so moving through the Central Valley. I get that from Steinbeck.

#i love the geographical politics people will argue about in regards to the geography of california#all the ‘where does NorCal start’s and ‘are Sac and Monterey part of the Bay Area’s and ‘where does Central Coast start and SoCal end’s#for the record: NorCal starts in Santa Rosa but cuts over Sac#Sac is not part of the Bay or NorCal and it’s part of the central valley#Monterey and Santa Cruz are part of the Bay when it’s relevant and not part of the Bay when I don’t feel like it#the SoCal and Central Coast line hits in the Santa Barbara/SLO/Solvang area#these are all just my personal opinion of course but they’re the correct opinion

So what are some ways y'all use to determine if someone is actually from your state or not?
For me, the easiest way to determine if someone is actually from California or not is by finding out whether they think the San Francisco Bay Area, and more specifically the South Bay — what most non-Californians know as "Silicon Valley" 🤢 — is NorCal or SoCal
Oh and whether or not they know that "Silicon Valley" is part of the San Francisco Bay Area but does not include San Francisco (or Oakland) is another reliable way to determine who's from here and who isn't
#helpful hint: for most californians the unofficial 'border' between norcal and socal is the grapevine#others may put it just below fresno and monterey counties#and a few just below santa clara and santa cruz counties#but for the most part almost nobody actually from here thinks san francisco is 'socal'#and also the only people who say they're from 'silicon valley' are techbros#those of us actually from so-called 'silicon' will usually just say we're from san francisco#many of whom aren't even originally from california much less the sf bay area#or santa clara or san jose or even 'the bay area'#yes there's more than one 'bay area'#but 'the bay area' without any identifiers always refers to the sf bay area

I don't like that human looking fish that cheddar-baby is posting. It's scaring the hoes (me).
#I don't get uncanny valley most of time. But that thing. . .it scares me.#It gives me the dread I get looking at the giant sea bass at the Monterey Bay Aquarium but worst because it looks like a man.#zombert.txt

Silicon valley is "Alaskan rivers"?
Really?
Where In The World Is California?
In 1927, Paramount Studios had this funny map, detailing which parts of California could substitute for which global locations. It was too expensive to fly around the world to film their movies. So they made California into the world.
#what exactly is supposed to be labeled 'Nile'? is that Monterey#or Carmel Valley? ...actually i could kinda see Carm Valley#likewise if 'New England Coast' is supposed to be Santa Cruz hell no it aint. but if it's like.buttfuck uhh Elkhorn Slough? i could see it#love that they labeled San Luis Obispo as 'Spanish California' like gee ya think?#(or maybe that's SB idk im not good at geography. same difference anyway it's an overpriced stone's throw between the two)
