<h2>RAISINS</h2>
Half of the world's supply of raisins are grown in California.

California discovered the commercial potential of raisins quite by accident. In 1873, a freak hot spell withered the grapes on the vine. One enterprising San Francisco grocer advertised these shriveled grapes as "Peruvian Delicacies" and the rest is history. California is now the world's leading producer of raisins.

<b>Fresno, California is the Raisin Capital of the World.</b>

Raisin - comes from the Latin racemus and means "a cluster of grapes or berries".

Fresno, Armipit capital of the world

<h2>Gilroy, CA. is the "Garlic Capitol of the World". </h2>
Humorist Will Rogers described Gilroy as " The only place in America where you can marinate a steak by hanging it on a clothesline." Ninety percent of the garlic consumed in the US is shipped through Gilroy for processing and packing, most of it grown within a 90-mile radius of the town. The people of Gilroy even put together a book called The Complete Garlic Lovers' Cookbook. They also host the Gilroy Garlic Festival on the last weekend of July each year. It started in 1978 and they feature food booths, a golf tournament, contests, and exhibitions. One day I'll make to the garlic Mecca to smell for myself. For more info you can write to

Working nine to five
what a way to make a living
. . .

Nine to five
they've got you where they want you

There's a better life
and you dream about it
don't you?
It's a rich man's game
no matter what they call it

And you spend your life putting money in his pocket.

Nine to five
