Serving as an immigration station during the mid-1800's, Angel Island--or "Island of Tears" as it is sometimes called--has quite a colorful history. Imagine making it all the way here on a tiny boat in rough seas, only to be told that you are a "defective" Asian and must return to your homeland.

Fast-forward to Lucas Valley--the brand of milk my grandmother used to have in her refrigerator when we "Skinneys" came visiting. It is purely a coincidence of name, but these days Lucas Valley is home to two of George Lucas's filmmaking campuses, situated on two old dairy farms--and yes, I am old enough to remember the cows.
