While riding the bullet train from Tokyo to Osaka (and back), as you pass by you see every single farm had one of those mini-trucks. I think there are a few manufacturers, of course. Also, a lot of the farmers had a Shiba Inu dog.

"Located on a natural island with an area in excess of 20,000 acres and that is within a county having a population in excess of 4,000,000."

This is an interesting qualification for California.

If I had to guess that is talking about the channel islands, specifically San Clemente Island, which the military uses as a bombing range and naval exercise area. Possibly San Catalina as well, civilians actually live there.

I spent about a week in summer 2006 on that island upgrading the data logging and processing systems for their hydrophone array. Fun trip.

Yeah it's for Catalina where it's very difficult to have a car. I just found it odd they just can't say that.
Edit: I love Dog.

What gets a mother cow mad?
One time when I was walking my dog up in the hills a calf came up to her and started sticking its tongue out like it wanted to lick her but I got nervous because the mom was coming up so I got my doggy away.

The worst thing about fuel loading is how it has affected wildfires. For those who don't know, wildfire prevention leads to "fuel loading" due to the dead trees not being burned away. Fires are a natural occurrence in the wild and putting them out leads to extra detritus being left over and the forest floors getting very crowded. Now what happens is when a fire starts it burns extra hard and hot because of all the dense material left to burn. Instead of clearing out the area it completely devastates it down to the soil, leaving it unable to recover for many years. California is a good example of this.
This forestry lesson brought to you by a community college class I took 10 years ago. :v:
