I was stationed at 29 Palms MCB. Rode my motorcycle all over the place. My uncle was stationed in San Diego in the Coast Guard, so I had a place to stay! It was great! It is so sad that a once beautiful state has been totally ruined by corrupt politicians and illegals.................
Maybe some author can pen a comparison of the Rise and Fall of California to the rise and fall of say Rome. I personally witnessed the final push to the top, perhaps the successful apollo program and the ride down from the crest. It started slowly down, almost imperceptible but then wow, like a rolling stone. Declining academics, immigration, but perhaps even more so “tolerance” over pragmatism; liberalism over conservatism. Whatever, I don’t feel the genie can be put back in the bottle there. Worse, I am less hopeful it can be done nationally now given the recent BBB fiasco.
