It is officially day one back in California; the traffic on the way back from the airport along with the smoggy skies attested to that. While Europe treated me well, it’s nice to be back home, and I’m definitely looking forward to sleeping in my own bed after three weeks in a hotel room. To commemorate the return, I decided to go with a couple of quintessential California groups today, though there’s certainly no shortage of ones to choose from.
