The power went out for an entire hour at school today. Like, the entire campus was completely out of power...but no classes were cancelled.

This, my friend, is the problem.
I have no idea where all these people are going to live, as it stands we have nearly zero agricultural land left and no where else to build any ugly-ass tract-homes.

Modesto is, in fact, quadrupling in size! Okay--I'm not sure about the exact numbers...but nearly 350,000 people live here now.
Turlock is also growing--up 10,000 people since 2002!

But yeah, Stockton's all built out so people are moving to Modesto and commuting here. It makes sense.

yeah, that too.

But something about the heat makes me want to lean up against some dusty southern house while dressed like Elizabeth Tayor in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.
