My last Monday in Bakersfield.
Just writing that brings a smile to my face.
And I do mean LAST. I will never set foot on this side of the Tehachapis again. Evah.
If at some point in the future I need to travel north, I'll fly. Won't even pass through this neck of the woods again. I'm afraid the smell will bring on PTSD.
