Summary

This quote humorously suggests that California is a place that often defies or challenges conventional thinking and reasoning. While science, logic, and reason typically guide decision-making, California is depicted as a unique entity that sometimes operates outside these norms.

The truth is, if you asked me to choose between winning the Tour de France and cancer, I would choose cancer. Odd as it sounds, I would rather have the title of cancer survivor than winner of the Tour, because of what it has done for me as a human being, a man, a husband, a son, and a father.
