Last year I had the chance ta go ta California for the first time. San Fran, L.A. and then up north ta the vineyards.  Well child......California is different!  Most of the time I thought I was in Mexico and the rest of the time I was visiting the land of Oz!  The guys looked like chicks and the chicks looked like guys and some it was hard ta tell.  I saw people that reminded me of all the books I read young about fairy godmothers and Sleeping Beauty and Snow White and that was just the guys!!  Most of the women scared me and the friends I was traveling with. I did love the clothes though.  Everything cost a ransom and my God, all the homeless people!!  Every where!  It was like this was where all the old hippies came ta die.  The food in Cal was wonderful as was the entertainment on every corner and bar.  Hard ta believe people parked their cars on streets that were like mountains!  The trip ta the wine folks was great also. Tasted a lot of wines and goat cheese and brown stuff that was organic.  Met a hot guy that worked at a marina and he show me one of the boats one evening and it was smooth sailing even if we didn't go out ta sea.  You just forgot about your hair there cause the wind never lets up. The sky in L.A. was cloudy most of the time and they say most of that is really smog.  All n all it was a cool trip and I finally got ta meet the tooth fairy on 22Th ave in San Fran.
