On the way back, I visited the Grand Canyon (and spent the night there). If you guys haven't ever been there, GO! Its absolutely breathtaking! What was really neat was when we got back to the trailer to change clothes (it got chilly pretty damn quick). When we got out, there were atleast a dozen elk grazing in the RV park! I immediately went for the video camera and started taping it. Three of them even spent the night there! (one of them atleast six feet from my window in the 5th wheel trailer! 
I'll post the pictures when I clear out enough space on my host.
I also got to meet that star wars kid. If you think he was a dork in that video....oooohhh boy! He's even loonier in real life than he was in that video! I met him at the Santa Barbara mall in EBX. He walked in, picked up a copy of Rouge Leader and yelled out loud "Rouge Squadron, this is rogue leater!" I shit you not! He is the personification of the "scifi nerd" stereotype. I walked up and asked him if he was that dork in that video that got posted all over the web. He was like "Ohh shit, not ANOTHER one!" We got into a conversation about the video that got posted, and he started acting like a total ass. He's got an ego even larger than Rican's.
He started ranting about how he was embarassed by that video (which he admitted to helping capture to a computer which acted as a public server) and that he convinced his parents to sue the people that released it. It was right then that I told him exactly what I thought of him. After I said my piece, everyone else in the place jumped all over him telling him what a fucking dork he is. 
) And the road system....man, thats even MORE fucked up than Memphis'...and I never thought anything could get worse than Memphis'. 
The morons doing construction don't even tell you what lane they're working on until the LAST second, which caused a huge backup you wouldn't believe....
