Did I say I had no liking for the bay area? Other than the attitude of the residents I have no problem with it. I said I had been there and it is beautiful but I like my state better. You like your state the best and I like mine the best. It seems like Californians have a chip on their shoulder. Like the old saying goes “the weather is here wish you were beautiful”. I have heard that from Californians many times.Why don't you use that as your tag line so freepers will know up front how you feel and they won't insult you with their own opinions of their own states.

My, my, sweeping generalizations...Californians have a chip? All of us? Lol. Okay.

"The weather is here"?? I never heard that here either. Must be a saying from your neck of the woods.
Never did hear that saying of "the weather is here...."

My apologies for misquoting you. I shouldn't start writing on the web until I've had my FULL two cups of coffee. Just had my second...it's 6:55 A.M.

Also, I love Arizona and Texas too. The deserts of Arizona are absolutely magnificent. My mother was born and reared in Arizona and she taught us to love the desert.

I visited New York City a few years ago. I LOVED the Big Apple but didn't have the time to visit the rest of the state.

I did get to see Yellowstone--absolutely MAGNIFICENT. But, then, I did get to visit much of the world when husband and I lived in Saudi Arabia. We meant to do that, knowing that when we came home we would see our own country. Unfortunately he got lung cancer...what to do besides mourn?

The saying “the weather is here etc.” comes right out of California. Never heard it from any other states resident.

Both of our states have a fabulous history I hope Californias future is as good as her history. So sorry about losing your husband, sounds like you had an exciting life together. My husband just turned 78, every day is a blessing. We have traveled, fished, hunted all over the US Canada and Mexico and have seen lots of the world beside. Haven't been to the middle east like you but that's OK with me, never wanted to go there.
