As I just wrote to the editor of the local newspaper's traffic column:

Dear Mr Roadshow,

The reason for this afternoon's traffic jam on southbound Highway 17 was a new one to me: A giant llama, dressed in a fetching green sweater, standing on the shoulder next to a dangerously stopped minivan advertising llama services. My question is if the llama actually RIDES in the minivan (there was no trailer). And the next logical questions: What does the minivan smell like? Could the smell be responsible for the minivan pulling over in such a dangerous spot? (When you have to go, you have to go... even in the minivan.) Does the llama wear green to avoid gang affiliation? Does the llama have a seat belt? Do llamas get provisional driver's licenses when they turn 16? Can you get a DUI for riding a llama while drunk?

No, I did not make this up.

Your faithful reader,

i just had a phone interview with a reporter from the San Jose Mercury News. I don't think I had enough details to warrant a full story, but we shared some laughs about the experience. if they do print anything, i'll try to link to it, of course. :D
