” I know you don’t hate Texas and if I remember correctly you are an X-pat from CA. Seems I remember you told me you left because you could no longer tolerate the governmental insanity there.”
I left California in Oct of 2006, because I saw the state committing suicide. The left has all but destroyed the economy there, and bankrupted the treasury. And I lived on the Ventura County side of Malibu, where left wing actors fear to tread : )
There is as much “government insanity” in Washington DC too.
My daughter and son-in-law now live near Fairfax, VA. His company transferred him to DC. He is a corporate attorney. Another story.
