Sometimes I pretend I live in So. California, today I really wish I did

Because if I did live in Southern California, aside from the proximity to beaches and awesome weather, I could pop over to UC Santa Barbara's AD & A Museum to see the current exhibit "Carefree California: Cliff May and the Romance of the Ranch House".  
I could read the books and surf the net all day but there is something about going to an actual exhibit to learn about a topic. I mean... hello? I am a visual person. And although I live in a perfect case study for Cliff May, I want to know more.

So, if you are in or near the Santa Barbara area in the next couple months, pop into the exhibit for me and tell me all about it.
