Though an old article about I-5 in Tehama County, the seal that is featured in the article is interesting that California is misspelled.

I'm pretty sure that's an intentional misspelling making fun of Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's heavily-accented pronunciation of the state, which sounded a lot like how it's spelled there.

I kind of figured it was a joke after all the name is derived from Spanish dialogue. 

I posted it as I thought to show some humor these days around here. :bigass:
