A week or two ago I noticed about a 90% drop in cars regarding tourism where I live on the North Coast of California

 I noticed this because where I live it is a tourist haven of people visiting to see things like kelp beds, Harbor Seals, Sea Lions, Sea Otters, Killer whales, Grey Whales in Season and Porpoises and other things that you can see from shore or on an ocean going boat or ship.

I also noticed Coastal squirrels eating weeds and other things and I have never seen that before. I also noticed Sea Gulls driving away Sandpipers to eat the sand Crabs Sandpipers usually eat.

Even Driving south to Santa Barbara would say there were at least 50% less cars on the road than any other time I have driven south to Santa Barbara mostly because Gas (regular) was about $6.70 to 6.90 a gallon and Premium gas was $7 a gallon to $7.50 a gallon at most name brand stations like Chevron, Shell and other well known name brand stations. However, you can buy cut rate gas likely around $6 to $6.25 a gallon if you really search for it in Northern California.

If you don't believe me just try to buy gas anywhere in California and you will see what I mean!
