  So, here we are, my wife and I, driving through the huge, dense, sprawling metropolis that is the Sacramento area, and suddenly, we find ourselves in the midst of a place that has all the appearance of a small, rural, out-in-the-middle-of-nowhere town.

  What an experience, driving eastbound on Fair Oaks Boulevard, just after you cross Sunrise Boulevard.  One moment, you're in a big, metropolitan area, then suddenly, you're in what looks like a small town.  There are even chickens running loose.  Completely unexpected, this is.  You don't get much time to ponder this, before you find the small-town look giving way back to the metropolis you were in before.
