Visalia is a rapidly over-growing community at the western base of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in the San Joaquin Valley of central California. With the population now over 100,000 it has changed from a farming and agricultural town that it once was. In the last thirty years growth has increased by 400%, probably because housing is still very low cost for Califonia.
Summer temperatures are frequently over the 100 degree mark and winter rain, which we only get a few inches of per year, brings what is known as Tule fog. Extremely dense fog that develops early in the evening and gets thicker all night long. It may lift by mid day, but sometimes does not break completely for up to three weeks. That means no sunshine for extended periods. The area does have all four seasons. Spring brings flowers and blossoms to everything that grows, including the tree fruit which is a big part of our economy. Summer is dry and very hot. Fall brings time to harvest the crops and usually is cooler. Winter is cold, with some years seeing freezing temperatures down to the teens. Day time in winter usually in the thirties and forties. Very seldom snow because of the 400 foot elevation. Besides tree fruit, and nuts, the area also has grapes, cotton, and dairies.

Home at last! Just can’t wait to get back home again. Back in my own bed, Eating my wife’s good home cooking. Shucks even she made the comment that she was getting tired of having to eat out every meal. After being on the road for 37 days, it feels so good to get back home. Now we have to go through all the mail, unpack, wash, and get back to normal. No small task.

I don’t know how many meet-ups you have been to and as a matter of fact I’m not sure how many I have been to either. But the one I attended today was one of the best so far.
Now this one wasn’t advertised much on TravBuddy because work schedules and availability had a big hand in this mini-meetup.
Originally it was to have been on Sunday, but as I mentioned above life happens. We had talked back and forth for easily two weeks trying to get time, place, and everything els...

This really doesn’t fall into a "trip" or "travel" but what the heck. It happened.
I know I have mentioned in the past that I have I seem to have a connection with animals. And most of the time when I try to connect, if I get a response, it is favorable. Oh, they don’t speak to me, or hold up a leg and wave, or anything like that, but somehow you sense a connection is made.
It’s easy to feel a bit foolish trying to make a connection, but that never has stopped me fro...

Prologue
In the fiction novel "Da Vinci Code" by Dan Brown, the word "plankton" does not appear. In this blog, entitled "Escape from Reality" the words "giraffe", "turtle","internet", and "schematic", and the term "we’re not in Kansas any more" appear once, and very early at that. In fact, in the first paragraph.
You’re probably scratching your head and wondering "What has happen to this guy?"
Nothing. It’s just that both of them are works of fiction. In the latter’s ca...
