The Valley is everywhere. I love these stories. My friend and former colleague, Steve Griffiths of Tulare, just got back from an around-the-world trip to celebrate a major birthday. He said he thought of me because a couple of years ago, while traveling in Prague, I wrote about finding almonds from the Valley attracting a crowd of people on the street. He couldn't wait to tell me that when he was in Asia, cheese from Los Banos was on the menu. I love when that happens.
