Could be, I just remember that our loneliest RM or FM roads rivaled the best that neighboring states had to offer.
Another test of a true Texan....what does the road designation “FM” stand for??
California used to be a heck of a state, it used to be thought of as the Golden state, sunshine, joy, surfs up!, music, oranges and Hollywood glamour, forests and bikinis, VW bugs with Porsche engines, Disneyland and San Francisco restaurants.
Today it is an old hag past her glory days, desperate and having trouble paying the rent, but still fighting to cling to an image of glamour even as the infrastructure crumbles and community and ‘California’ are forgotten concepts, there are no common feelings of unity and hope for the future out here.
California is purely a place for taking what you can get from it while the getting is good. A direction that the US has been going in for 40 years and is acted on by the millions of foreigners who arrive by the planeloads to get what they can get here with no care about the American future or the hard earned American past, and certainly no concept of what used to be thought of as America’s wonderful destiny of spreading the American way of life to the world and liberating the human spirit, instead we imported the world’s bleak existence into America and have become irretrievably bogged down in diverse humanity in mass, forever.
