Chico, Rolling Hills Casino, Walmart...

Last full day the Way family gets to spend together as a threesome until next month...

...Driving past Snow Mountain and Stonyford, through Glenn County, and on to...

...Butte County (pop. 220,000 - *AHEM*, gay hookup sites and statistical likelihoods...), and the city of Chico!

Chico is home to Chico State University, Butte College (attended by none other in the past than Green Bay Packers QB and sexy NorCal goober Aaron Rodgers), cell phone towers (pictured), and...

...The Home Depot, where we went shopping for trees...

...And saw lots of flowers...

...And bricks...

...And more flowers...

...Even a bird of paradise! In October!

I'm on a see-food diet: I see it, I eat it! (At Rolling Hills Casino, from which I've never been ejected - kicked out for winning!)

...And then, finally, Walmart (of course we're at Walmart - that's Deutsch cheese, yo!)
