I'm in California, and I don't see pedal pusher stuff for guys. But maybe
it's in Berkeley thing, that's not part of California, or anywhere else.
More importantly, what where the French women wearing?

Ah, the good old days of cheap gas. And I'm saying that $3.359 is beginning
to look cheap (OUCH!!!)

I am going to ask, were you in Sodona photographing the elusive California
Yuppie?

God forbid that they actually push the lock button on the door then shut it.
But they may be testing the car alarm before they go off on a hike where
they wouldn't hear the alarm or wouldn't be able to get back to it before
the car was stripped clean.
I went through those three areas in the Fall many, many years ago. No
crowds and the colors of Fall. There may be crowds now, hopefully the fall
colors still occur.
