Yeah, but to the rest of the US, they seem to have this idea that Davis and Sac-town are the same place...

Sort of like the perception from Europeans that if you're in LA for the weekend, you can drive up to have dinner in San Francisco for the night... We're bigger than people think we are.

I apologize for that. The whole "UC Davis Sacramento" regional name lends to a bit of confusion.

I talked to a friend from kentucky who thought I lived near LA when I said I was 50mi north of SF or so


Also, Europe's stuff is a lot closer. In the time it takes somebody to go from the northern border of the US to the southern, you could cross many country lines in europe. I don't blame them for thinking everything is so small, really.

You could go through 3 or 4 countries in Europe in the time it would take you to drive through CA.
