I was 19 the first time I came to California. I went to visit a friend that moved away after highschool she was getting married. I went here by bus. I still remember this: the second we were in California the bus driver said "Welcome to California turnback your clocks by one hour." I look out the window for my first look at this famous state and what do I see? A large maybe 3 stories tall palm tree on fire. And only the top part.
It was like a sign from God "TURN BACK NOW THIS IS HELL!!"
The first time I entered California by car they searched my entire car for fruits and vegetables... and I guess illegal pets. Not drugs... not alcohol... they looked for fucking fruits, vegetables, bugs, snakes and lizards. It was like entering bizarro world and I loved it.
And here I thought you were the cat guy. This is a whole new side of you
I actually did smuggle some fruit out of America once. Not really on purpose-- I didn't wake up and go "you know what'd REALLY get the adrenaline pumping today? Seeing if I can get this banana all the way across the border." Forgot it was in the car.
Customs/border patrol is just odd, you never know when/why they'll stop you, or what they'll be looking for sometimes
I'm an animal guy! Yeah... I used to have a ball python, a chinese water lizard, two leopard geckos, a malasyian golden gecko, two green anoles, and a parson's chameleon.
I also had a salamander.... technically I still have a salamander. I was cleaning out the tank one day and I found his corpse and I mummified it.
