Back, Back to Cali, Cali. Or as the poppy emo boy says “California, Califorrrniaaaa, Here we Coo-ooome.” Tomorrow morning I’m leavin rainy Oregon behind, in favor of rainy San Francisco (for new year’s). Then maybe a quick stop in San Luis Obispo (315 days of sunshine per year) and finally Claremont. Plus, December was kind […]
