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

Well, California was named after a fictional character,  correct?

I mean, I know everyone's all gaga over Frida these days, but whodathunkit that a whole state would change its name to honor her...

You'll only understand what is going on if you solved the riddle of steel.

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.

That is what's best in life. Other than the crushings and the drivings and the lamentations.

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:
