California!

Hi all.

This will be short. I just wanted to let those of you checking in that Ozzie and I have arrived safely in Davis. We spent today unpacking and getting settled. The weather is beautiful and Davis is cute as a Georgia peach.

Wildlife Update: Ozzie and I saw the following animals along the way: cows, sheep, cats, dogs, 1 porcupine (crossing the road in CO), several prairie dogs sipping water from rumble strips along the highway, and to our much amazement, a wolf carrying some sort of prey in its mouth as it darted right in front of our truck on a highway (I-80) in the Sierra Nevadas--the mountain range between NV and CA. Ozzie and I were shocked. Fortunately, we didn't knock the prey out of its mouth with the front of the truck...that would have been unfortunate, and, dare I say, ironic? Maybe like rain on your wedding day, but hopefully not.

Anyhoobs, I promise to write more about my trip soon!
