I bugged out of the city a month ago (after living there for 30 years). I find that I had become a "city slicker", but not for the kind of Third World cities we're evolving towards.

I would be lying if I said the move has not be without its share of trauma.

I'll be escaping Mexifornia sometime in the next few months. Hope everything holds together long enough for us to get out.

I don't think our move will have trauma. I think I'll be doing the snoopy dance at all the Americans speaking ENGLISH!! Imagine that, all of you in border states. It will be like a breathe of fresh air ;).

The trauma will be moving without jobs and interest rates artificially low and stock market overvalued. But since we want to be self-sufficient and eschew the materialism that has run rampant in the greedy golden state, no biggie.
