“Well it’s absolutely beautiful where I live and the food is wonderful. Oh and Darrell Issa is my representative. I can’t really help it if the rest of the state is bonkers.”
Ditto for me and I live in the East Bay in Northern California. I always marvel at these posts. They are usually from people who don’t live here. I really think it’s “penis envy.” Because as bad as everything is here politically, it’s still the best place in the world to live. Today, it’s sunny with the temperature in the high 60’s. So how does that compare with you folks down in Swollen Groin, Texas? Or the Midwest? Do you have the headbolt heaters in your cars plugged in? Got any broken pipes yet?
I was born less than a mile from the beach in Monterey, California, and lived in my home state for over half a century. In late 2005, I packed up the wife, the kids, our business, and everything we owned, and moved to Texas.
It was the best move I ever made, and I haven't missed California a single day since I've been gone. The California I once loved has been gone for decades. I was homesick for that, long before I left.
My grandson is about to graduate with a degree in software engineering and he’s talking to a company in Silicon Valley. This grandmother is not real happy about her grandson moving there. I have a really bad image in my mind of the area and if the state of CA is going to end up taking away from him what Obama misses.
