Eureka! California

I crossed the border into California a little before
11pm, and was promptly greeted by a station
where I had to stop and declare any produce I
was carrying. Welcome to CA! I think California
gets itself confused with Canada at times. Anyway,
after forgetting to mention the 4 tomatoes I had
stashed in the cooler in the trunk (it was late and
I was tired) (do you think if I planted the tomato seeds
somewhere in Cali it would bring about ecological ruin?,
or are they afraid that produce grown in other states
would inspire a more conservative mindset?), I drove straight
through to Eureka. In retrospect I should have stayed in
Crescent City so that I could have driven through the
Redwood Forest during daylight, but the drive was
interesting at night, there was a lot of mist, giving the
woods a very sppoky quality at times. I was often the
only car within my line of sight...
