California was an awesome place to be in the 80’s.(SJ)
They ruined the most beautiful and physically diverse land in America.
I remember visits to CA in the 60s and 70s. It was a wonderful place. In fact, I came close to being born and raised in southern California. My dad mustered out of the Air Force in 1953, and one of his college classmates lived in Huntington Beach and told him how great it was there. He took a sightseeing detour to the Pacific Northwest and decided to settle in Portland (which was also a wonderful place long ago).
One of my brothers lives in Orange County these days. I’d love it if he’d move away from there, but he doesn’t want to move too far from his kids and grandkids. Maybe if I had a few hundred million I could transplant the whole tribe.
