Agreed
Many people don’t realize that much of small
town California is pretty much the same as small
town Anywhere, USA. Constant carping does get a
lot tiring. California has always attracted
some pretty crazy types since the Gold Rush.
The way this California native sees it is that
our friends from other states ought to show us
a little love for taking in so many of their
wacked out rejects.
It is hard to believe Ronald Reagan once helmed this state, isn’t it?
I remember watching a movie about the “Three Stooges” a few years back. It was a movie about them, and their careers together. Apparently, California was referred by people even back as far as the 30s and 40s!
There is a scene where the Stooges were riding up the coast in their big car with their families. They were riding up the coast road, after coming from the East on the train. One of them cracked a joke about being “in the Land of the fruits and nuts”! I laughed when I saw that, because I didn’t know that they called it that way back then!
