I saw that, but thanks. Turns out that Signorotti guy has hops farms
in states other than CA, too. I didn't work for him and didn't work
in Sloughhouse, but worked on a farm out on Sloughhouse Rd near there.
I was by there about a year ago. It was all ranchettes and horse
farms and riding academies.

Hops used to be heavy business in CA. All that housing developement
between Hwy 50 and the American River near Watt Ave used to be
hopyards, too. I now live a hundred miles away, in the greater SFBA,
and there's still remnants of that era. In the next town over is
a major thoroughfare, Hopyard Rd.
