# I grew up in Salinas...
off of Monterey, etc... which is considerably foggier than east oakland,
less so than SF

# Arghhhhhhhhhh
My ex-in laws live on Corral de Tierras between Salinas and Monterrey. They bought their place when it was just ranchers and people growing pot. Now they are surrounded by millionaire Produce Barons. I miss the hills so much. I am stranded in Chicago now.

# Hm
I lived by the hills on the opposite side,
surrounded by cow pastures and strawberries. Really rural.

# Not only that but
they push the cart to your car and help you get the bags into the trunk.

Now I am practically sick with nostalgia. Must. Stop. Now.
