Cali's a beauty of a place its just too crowded.
A big fence and a strong dose of conservatism would help but even thats probably too little too late.
Tell you what though, I take a flat in Watts or Compton before Id shovel snow in a palace back east.
:LOL: :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: Then don't whine about the ridiculous laws and idiots governing the place. Around here we always figured are climate helped keep the riff raff out!!!!! If all you require from life is nice weather, looks like you and Shawn have it made!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:LOL: :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: :LOL:Quote:

Ever raced snowmobiles, quads, cars, or motorcycles on a frozen lake in the winter???
English is still the prime language taught in our schools, oh yeah, it's not taught as a second language!!!!
I would imagine all the stories about wildfires, mudslides, and earthquakes are just stories????
We don't even have security guards or metal detectors in our schools!!!!
No state inspections or smog inspections on our cars.... When I need license plates, all I have to show is my current registration and plunk down a few bucks annually....Unless I have "antique" tags, then I only have to renew them every 5 years....
A nice house in a decent neighborhood is still under $100k.
Traffic doesn't operate at gridlock speed all day long!!!
We have race tracks and dragstrips, and new ones opening not old one's being closed down!!!!
Sorry, the "perfect weather" just would never be enough of an attraction for a lot of us.....
Amen to that, Dave. During my 20 years in the Navy and the 13 years afterwards that I lived in some of these perfect weather locations, it became apparent to me the hassles weren't worth it. I'll take the good old Mid America any day. :) :) :)Quote:

I'm not saying life in the midwest is perfect, but IMO it beats the heck out of either coast!!!! When it gets really cold, I can always head South for the winter....
I would say 50 percent of all hotrod parts are made here local in cali,hotrods are not going anywhere .
Cali has some of the best frozen lakes and ski resorts in america.
C-mon dave exspand yer horizons ,I would like to be able to speak a couple of languages,heck 5 or 6 would work.
Anytime you have a hill and it rains ,it slides ........dont live under the mudslide hill.:LOL: It has caught on fire here since here was here .......
As far as the earth quakes,they just happen and by the time you can freak out ,there over,much better than a tornado.
All major cities have the metal detectors and security on the schools,St.Louis had them.
I have a 1966 truck ,plates are 50 bucks a year ,no inspections or emissions.
I live right outside the Los Pardres national forest ,which is the size of small state ,that is uninhabited,I have very little traffic at all.
As far as housing.....my income doubled moving from the midwest to here.
As far as race tracks ,we have more than any state and also have one of the biggest gatherings,last race I went to there 133,000 thousand people in attendance,then theres all the road courses ,long beach,Pamona,infineon,windy hill,plus countless others.
Can I ask you this.......can you deep sea fish in the mourning ,ride bikes in the desert in the afternoon and then go snowmobile riding or ski in the afternoon ,..........I can:D
You guys cant fool me ,I see all the threads on its sooo hot here ,or its soo cold here,or its been raining for days..........:CRY: :LOL:
Its just like iceland /greenland mislabeling........Milk costs 10 dollars a gallon,its overcrowded,everyones a idiot ,.welcome to cali now go home:HMMM:
Honestly it is crowded and exspensive and loaded with idiots,..................but there are some very unique events and geography and weather happening here,I am glad I am here,Hey I can always move and when I do,I can buy 5 houses in another state and retire comfortably with the sale of just one house.
Ohh I almost forgot,I sat outside last night and I think I saw one moth around the light,someone said they saw a mosquito last year ...somewhere.:LOL:
Somebody also said they sell deep woods off somewhere up north ,I am not sure where though.Heck,most houses around here never had A/C untill the 1990s,we still do not have or need it,we do have a heater though,those 60 degree winters shure do get cold.:eek:
20 miles to the north we are on fire ,literally and heat wise.
Like I said ,I live in a very special area ,theres only a few places in the world this stable and most of cali is nowhere close to the beatiful weather in this very little secluded area I live.
However ,I agree with you on cali being just like you said :CRY: I just happen to be in a very good part.For the most part its just like you stated.
I just gatta give you a hard time:LOL: :rolleyes:
Like I said, enjoy the weather and the politicians and ridiculous laws I don't fish, or I'd live by a lake I suppose. Might want to show some reference on your statistic of 50% of the hot rod parts being made in So Cal..... I would imagine that's a bit high.
But anyway, you guys were the one's complaining about all the legal infringement and the "libbies" (that one still is funny to me)running the place.... If I wanted to put up with all that crap, would have continued dodging the draft and stayed there in '68!!!!! Been back many, many times since, so don't bother with the travel brochure stuff!!!! On Monday morning at 8AM I can travel further on Interstate 29 in an hour then you can on I-10 in 3!!!!! If you like events with 133,000 in attendance, have a ball. I much prefer where we sometimes have to look around to come up with enough cars to make a quick 8 field on Friday night!!!!! Don't bother trying to convince me how great Caliphony is, but it sounds like you almost have yourself convinced. When I leave here, it'll be Texas....and not one of the big cities, either.... I hate crowds, hate traffic, and generally prefer living in an area where I don't have to see other people unless I want to cuz I don't like very many of them, either!!!!!!
Uh, no...Not much on mountains unless there's two feet on new powder and I have a sled with a long track and a lot of horsepower!!!!!!:LOL: :LOL: :LOL:Quote:

You guys were they ones complaining about all the bad things out there, but then said the weather is nice so it's ok!!!! and I'm the one with the mental problems!!!!!!:LOL: :LOL: :LOL: :LOL:
