Uh huh.
Not my fault you don't know how to ride a damn bus.
It's actually Californians telling the world.
Uh huh
It's hard not to talk about paradise.
That was a funny.
Perfect weather. "June gloom" that now runs from May to September where you maybe see the sun for a couple of hours before sunset and the rest of the time it's dank, cold and foggy. I'll grant you the winters are nice because it generally never gets below forty. But you are in an eternal drought because even a visionary like Mulholland didn't plan for So Cal to grow the way it did. I grew up in So Cal when it was really the Golden State, clean, uncrowded, snowy mountains to hike and ski in, the Pacific to sail, surf and swim in, clean beaches and uncrowded freeways to get places. I moved five years ago, the last time I went to San Diego it took me six hours to go from Ventura to San Diego on a Friday night. It would take nearly an hour to go the forty miles from Ventura to Santa Barbara. An hour and a half to go from Reseda to Century City. Round the clock rush hour traffic. Hour or more waits for parking at the entertainment venues you seem so entranced by. I moved to the Phoenix area, yes it's hot three months of the year, but a hundred and ten here feels cooler than eighty near the beach because we have humidity in the low teens to single digits. I can get anywhere in the Phoenix metro area in forty minutes and I live in the far west end to town. Entertainment venues aren't crowded except during Spring Training and there's plenty of things to do. The only thing I miss about So Cal is the sailing, lakes just aren't as much fun to race on as the ocean.
I used to work in Agoura and Calabasas, lots of armed security, but damned little squalor. The worst thing about working there was the eternal torture of car envy watching exotic cars drive by generally driven by assholes who didn't appreciate them.
I had friends that left the "squalor" of Bel Air for Calabasas.
Did you ever get to Tommy's? I lived right around the corner from it through Jr. High and High School. It's probably why I don't like Chili-Burgers now, smelling them all the time.
Hopefully they didn't drive Cobras, Ferraris or Lambos.
They were both devoted to Land Rovers.
Well as a rural resident of CA I say let them go! CA is going to drop off into the SEA because of Climate Change, Global Warming, overpopuation, etc. so FLEE NOW!! Go....Just Go.....Save yourselves before it's too late!! I'll stay here with all the 'rednecks!!!'
And CA is mostly rural geographically and that area is conservative. SF and LA give CA a bad name.
We have May Gray, then June Gloom. Along about mid July the sun comes out. I used to live in Los Angeles. That was truly a nightmare that got worse.
