Ah, California - how I miss you...

I woke up this morning, and found THIS on the front page of the BBC website:

"Californians Bare Bottoms for Passing Trains"

*laughing* Makes me homesick in a strange way....

Hee! Oh, that's awesome. It reminds me of a news story in Munich several years back. The Isar, a very cold river, flows through the city, and during one particularly hot summer Germans took to riding the local streetcar upstream, jumping in the river, floating down half a mile, getting back on the upstream-heading streetcar and repeating the process all day long. The problem? The Germans repeating this process all day were naked.

The best part is that the news story was about how the streetcar conductor was upset that the naked, sopping-wet people didn't pay their fare. The nekkid passengers argued that, after all, they had no place to store a ticket or coins, and won their case in court. ;)
