But as for Modesto, Madera, Turlock... eek!
Back in 1961, my folks and I sailed under the Golden Gate Bridge after many years of being stationed in Asia. California looked pretty good to me then...
I can bring back my memories of LA by simply starting both cars in the garage and closing the doors. But only do it for a few minutes at a time.
There’s a lot of water in these parts for sure...
I dunno about that… Communism & Socialism have failed miserably everywhere its been tried and yet American Commies & Socialists truly believe they can make it work here.
I’m also not sure that the “Law of Unintended Consequences” is applicable in this situation. These overly educated people know exactly what the consequences will be. They just don’t care.
I fear you may be right. They know and just don’t care.
Rough & Ready Island?
Ahh! Turlock brings me so many memories... I had a friend who lived there for 15 years. Every. Single. Time.
I visited him... it reeked of chicken manure... ughh!
My dad used to work there as a manager for ten years or so and retired before Reagan was President. I remember going there as a kid to sell walnuts at some company flea market? Other than that... I don’t know much... what happen in 1945?
Rough and Ready Island was the staging area for the invasion of Japan. It was considered far enough away from SFCA to avoid prying eyes. Of course, the invasion didn’t happen, courtesy of the atomic bombs and Japan’s surrender in Aug. ‘45.

Was he Army or DAC ?
“I’m so happy here in CA these days, I could just (BLEEP) a well baked adobe brick!!!”
Take comfort in knowing that Maryland will follow your destructive lead. This country is truely going to hell in a handbasket. 8 Years of Obamamania will, with the pacification by the media, send us down a road that will have us question our deepest feelings for this country.
Some think it will teach the electorate a lesson, ha. With the propaganda spewed by public education, chic college professors and nearly all of our entertainment and news media - it will be swallowed and adored hook line and sinker.
He was a civilian. Department of something... I forget. What does DAC stand for?
Department of the Army Civilian. Time in service and authority were reflected in GS (government service) rank.
I've never heard or read anyone remark about the most annoying and irritating speech defect the man (Obama) has when enunciating words that end in the letter "S." He exagerates the s sound like a hiss, kinda like the Saturday Night Live skit that mocked the Chicago sports fans with Chris Farley and the gang calling the Bears... "Da Bearssss," and the Bulls... "Da Bullssss!"
You listen closely and sssee if he doesssn't talk like thissss. It almost whistlessss!!! (let me know if you hear it too)
Your response to my disgusted comment are fully understood and appreciated!!!
