100 Things I Like: Cienega Road

One of the great things about living in Hollister is that it doesn't take long to drive to the middle of nothing but hills, trees, total nature. Funny thing about Cienega Road is that time seems to go slower driving from south to north, then north to south.

100 Things I Like: The Hollister Haybalers

Haybalers—Balers, for short—is the nickname for San Benito High School, aka Hollister High School. The most coolest high school nickname around. But, then, being a former Baler, I am quite biased. Want to know more about the unique nickname? Click here to read a Sports Illustrated article written in 1986 by Bruce Anderson, also a former Baler.
By the way, the Baler Homecoming Parade is this Friday afternoon, October 28. As always, it'll start at the high school and make its way to downtown Hollister. According to the high school Web site, it'll begin around 2 p.m.
