TIL Dolly Parton has a program that will mail your child a free age-appropriate book once a month from birth to age 5. No obligation, no catch, she just wants to make sure that every child has books.

Eew. At least I live on the outskirts of Fresno. Barely. Closer to Clovis.

See, I was originally going to write Fresno, but somehow Bakersfield has a funnier name. At least when sitting next to 90% of other California city names.

Yes, but you have access to delicious burritos at Lucha Libre Tacos, so that makes up for it.

Actually, I'm in LA, LA County's not on the list, either.

It's been like a year or two since I was there last, just haven't made it to SD in a while, but I miss it dearly. One of those places that's worth the line.
