Bored, at work, I've been goooogling. I decided to look up my hometown in wikipedia which led me to the City Chamber of Commerce's website, which in turn led me to some "attractions" that the Chamber of Commerce are advertising, which led me to this.
"YREKA & ALL OF SISKIYOU COUNTY IS BIKER FRIENDLY
The uncrowded roads of Siskiyou County offer motorcyclists incredible riding experiences. The vast open roads that crisscross California's northern most central county, geographically the fifth largest county in the state, are lightly traveled and provide breathtaking scenery at nearly every turn.
Yreka, [you pronounce the "Y"] the seat of Siskiyou County, is located adjacent to Interstate 5 at the northern end of the majestic Shasta Valley just twenty-two miles south of the Oregon border. Being the largest city in the county, with a mere 7,290 population, Yreka offers travelers the most inclusive list of services throughout Siskiyou County. Motorcyclists visiting this rural historic community will quickly discover that Yreka businesses, like the roads, are "biker friendly".
Bikers can expect roads that course along wild and scenic rivers and historical county byways that pass along open miles and miles of outstanding rural scenery. You'll go through historic communities, along old stage routes and even right past the site of the last lynching in California which is just down the road from the scene of the last stagecoach robbery which took place in the Golden State. "
I highlighted the last sentence for emphasis but the blue print is from the original page. When I see blue print on a website I think that this is because there is a link. Not so in this case. I think they just really wanted to point out that Yreka is "Biker Friendly" and that it is the proud home of the "last lynching" in California. Not to mention the "last stagecoach robbery." I am so proud of my hometown. And what they are proud of, I am proud of.

But they didn't tell us HOW to pronounce the "Y" in Yreka. There are many ways in which one could pronounce a Y. Sheesh. Oh crap, now we need to do that woord verification thing? jeepers, blogger.
After my brief blogger fame I started getting like 10 spam comments a day so I thought I would do the word verification for a while until that problem is alleviated. Sorry. There are so many strange and funny things about the Yreka Chamber of Commerce Webpage. I forgot about the "Y" part but it made me laugh when I first read it.
