Oh the places I've been

I'll not likely get to Europe in this current lifetime, but I have been to over 30 states, with visits to dazzling places such as:*
Idaho Falls
Freehold, NJ
Schenectady, NY
Colorado Springs - one of my favorite cities to visit
Burlington, CO
Lost Wages, NV
Sacramento, CA
Whatever city the University of New Hampshire is in
Columbia, SC
Some town in Iowa where I got food poisoning from a Hardees - the hotel I stayed in there had icky old carpeting
Richmond, VA
A couple of places in North Carolina
Birmingham, AL
Nogales, AZ
Kokomo, IN (strangely, the town was not in the FL Keys - once again, pop music lies)
Las Angeles (had dinner in Hollywood and got to see the famous Hollywood sign on the side of that hill there - you know the one)
Nawlins
Nashville, TN - I saw this way-cool exhibition on Napoleon while I was there, I wish I'd bought the catalog!
Westcliffe, CO
Piqua, OH
San Francisco, CA (I walked on the Golden Gate Bridge)
A very tiny town outside of Amarillo, Texas, the name of which escapes me
Tiajuana, Mexico (declared by Krusty the Clown as "The happiest place on Earth!")
Omaha, NE (Actually, they have a very cool zoo there, complete with an indoor model rainforest)
Elizabethtown, KY (the state, not the jelly, get your mind out of the gutter!)
St. Louis, MO - I kind of like it there; since the brewery's there, Busch beer on tap tastes pretty good in that town

*Note: Level of dazzle varies by city.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to try to eat pudding out of the cup without a spoon.

What brought you to Sacramento? I'm just curious, cuz I live there and all. Usually people think of it as a pit stop on the way to San Francisco... Hell, most of the people living here use it as a pit stop on the way to SF. But it's a gorgeous city, if I don't mind saying so myself. ;)

I used to work for a company that sold industrial embroidery machines. I would go to the client's site for a couple of days and teach them the machine and the design software. It would have been a much more fun job if the company hadn't been so damn cheap.

I thought Sacramento was pretty, I remember the downtown was cool, right on the river. Lots of farms and mountains, too. In fact, the customer I worked with there was the one who took me to San Fran. She was cool, her name was Cricket. Not like I expect you to know her, I just happened to remember her name since it was unusual.
