Saddled between Bakersfield and Fresno, I grew up on a scantly populated, two-lane road several miles from town in a county where agriculture remains the economic lifeblood: milk and cream, pistachios, raisins, cattle and calves, strawberries, citrus, lettuce, and-when I was younger-cotton, and walnuts.
