As a non-Californian, I think “Northern California” ends about at Redding. The Bay Area is obviously “Central”, no matter what Californians might think about the matter. And anything, of course, south of Bakersfield is “Southern California”.

So there.

My favorite sticker was on well-dented VW bus: “Greenpeace”. It was hard to see with the stream of grey smoke coming out the tailpipe and clouding the road for several blocks.

Larry Agran is still Mayor? I haven’t heard of him since he ran for president in the Democratic primary in 1992. :)

I’m pretty sure Kang is a he, not a she. I probably wouldn’t have noticed the pronunciation issue if his ads didn’t protest too much.

“Drum finds a 11:7 ratio…”

That ratio goes up, inexplicably, when you drive around UCI (my old Alma Mater and nearby neighbor). There’s even a Democratic HQ in one of the shop-fronts in the mini-mall by the theater and Trader Joe’s.

Speaking of Kang, her election posters carefully point out that it’s “Sue-kee”. In another part of Orange Country, there’s a guy running for council named Al Snook. As they say, “with a name like that, you’ve gotta be good”.

As for bumper stickers, I figure that if you wanted your car to be a billboard, you’d get a classic VW.

Keep also in mind that it was Orange County that put Loretta Sanchez in Congress. And her sister.
