I hosted a friend from Australia about 12 years ago when I lived in CA. We attended a Raiders game and rode BART to the stadium. My friend was appalled that the bay area was such a shithole then and it is worse now. After living in CA for nearly 50 years, I can attest that state has gone downhill every year.
Still 40 Million inhabitants
Do you think Houston or Philly or Denver are better ?
Actually, yeah. When was the last time you walked down Market St. from Castro to the wharf? Maybe not Philly.
I was in Dublin a year ago and it is head and shoulders above SF or LA. Can't say the same for Belfast though.
I don’t go North of Santa Cruz or South of Red Bluff ( unless I’m on an Interstate )
LOL, There's nothing west of Placerville or south of Red Bluff in CA worth visiting with the sole exceptions of Big Sur and the N. coast. IMHO
Catalina and Half Dome and Lido Isle and Coronado , Death Valley , Desert riding at Jawbone Canyon , Vintage Motorbike Racing at Glen Helen , Fishing off SanDiego …
I believe the last time I looked, Half Dome was east of Placerville as is Death Valley, Jawbone Canyon--as for the rest, meh. Too many people in SD and Catalina and fishing is better in Mexico. Next.
Yes, but it's more enriched in smaller countries due to population density, and empty in large ones. I suppose I could pull up a chart/graph/map where the American population live, and the bulk of America is empty. So in Europe, you don't have to travel far to experience cultural experiences. Down the road in Europe means a few miles. When I was in America, an American travel advice that a few miles down the road meant 40, 50, 60 miles plus. Normally 60 miles away in the UK is called a day out.
Best Fly Fishing in the Country ( McCloud River / Upper Sac ) and best Bear Hunting ( without Dogs) Trinity Alps , best Boating Lakes ( Shasta Lake ) ( Whiskeytown Lake / Trinity Lake)
Houston. You can defend yourself.
I have my California CCW ( since 2011)
Not surprising for a continent that is roughly half the size of the US. My point was that each one of these smaller countries embraces their own unique culture--that extreme diversity doesn't exist in the US in the numbers that it does in Europe. You can travel from ME to CA and see small regional changes but nothing like the change that you would see going from Denmark to Italy or Greece or even from Scotland to the Czech Republic.
Denver and Philly don't honor it.
Nor Texas
What percentage of the state of CA has CCW? Interestingly, ID is required to purchase ammo in both states. Sure glad that isn't the case in Idaho.
or OR
