It's actually a pretty fun place to visit but I could never live there. Way too many liberals. They kinda creep me out.

Well I'm back home dammit. Too many obligations here to spend the rest of my life as a beach bum in California. I have a few observations to pass along though. - There are certain features on automobiles that are completely worthless in LA like cruise control and high beams.
- Gas is $4.49/gallon there. That creates two distinct classes, the Prius drivers and the Escalade drivers. The Escalade drivers are my people.
- It's easy to remember names there - everyone is Jose or Pedro.
- When waiting in line at the airport MacDonalds hang back a bit, observe for a minute, and then switch to the line with the counter person that speaks good enough English that you can understand them.
- There would be no point in living there if you were more that a couple of blocks from the ocean. Farther inland is too much squalor and ugliness.
- Any car that has ever seen the streets of LA has at least one big dent and several scratches.
- Californians think we're crazy for living here where it's cold in the winter. I told them they're crazy for living where the sky is greenish-brown. You shouldn't be able to taste the air that you breathe.
What about the traffic? Seems like it takes about 2 hours to go 20 miles.

I really didn't have much trouble with traffic. I got to work every day at 6:00 and left at 3:00. I think that helped a lot. Thursday I left at 4:00 though and the traffic was much heavier. I'll bet it's gridlock at 5:00.

I really think you'd be happier in Lala land Andy. And your vote is desperately needed there with so many elections there coming down to just a few votes either way.

I've gotta stay put Scout, that way I can offset my neighbors vote OK, but if California goes Republican I'm gonna tell them it's your fault.
