DID BRAZIL GET ITS NAME FROM THE BRAZIL NUT???

Did Brazil get its name from the Nut?
Did India get its name from the Ink?
Did Oroville get its name from Oroweat?

Why do I ask?

Because Cliff graduates from college in May and there are no rooms at the Inns--literally.  Not one room in the lovely little town of Chico...not one!!  No amount of wheedling, whining, begging, asserting, will get us a room, much less two rooms.

We are staying in Oroville, CA. Where you ask??  I certainly did.  This is a picture of historic downtown Oroville.

 The population of Oroville was 13,000 in 2000.  The fourth largest employer is Walmart, number eight is Home Depot.  Oroweat not in sight.

We will be staying at the Holiday Inn Express for Cliff's graduation.  

If we were to stay here this weekend the room would be $86 a night...for graduation weekend it is $195 per night.


It must be near a highway, because I think we are getting robbed.


Oh, BTW, the answers to the questions are...no, no, and no!

I just did some checking to make sure that Oroweat really is not based in Oroville.  Come to find out it is a division of Bimbo Bakeries CA a division of Bimbo Bakeries Mexico...I am not even going there...

I'm just sayin'...
