LOL, well anything is possible.
I’ve stepped in a lot of it over the years growing up on a farm. I never had that kind of luck. Darn!
You’re in rare form today.
Yes, if only it were well done!!!
As opposed to moderately unusual, somewhat scarce, relatively infrequent, or medium rare?
You are, absolutely, in rare form! ;-)
When I lived in the San Joaquin Valley, the only odd ball was Patty Hearst, and I was pulling for her. lol
You have bike lanes and roundabouts now? The Rapture is close! The Portland metro area has “invested” over a billion dollars...with a B...in bike lanes.
I hate to see what has been happening to the Valley. It’s criminal!
I’m so happy to be able to spend time in Mississippi, except for the Barbours. They have put a damper on things.
In all seriousness, I am very sorry at the state of affairs all over CA. I know that you don’t deserve it. I’m still ticked that the folks in SoCal who didn’t like the way things were going there decided to move here, and bring their messed up politics with them.
SMH for ALL of us.
When I go to a restaurant hankering for a burger, I order a scorched slab of mangled muscle with hot greasy tuber shreds.
Yum!

Only the best. The county is paving rural roads in order to prop up the local developers by making remote properties more accessible for the usual theft by non-point nitrate regulations against the locals so that they can put in the sewers to boot. They used carbon credit money for the roads by calling them "bike lanes." Of course, both roads dead end into a freeway, but who cares? The big wheels want it that way.

I'm not a fan of getting mugged, weather or no, but I end up getting clipped anyway.
I was pulling for her too up to a point. Then things went south. It was a real mess.
Bike lanes! With all the problems we have, this is what they spend their time on. Well, I guess you can’t be writing new gun laws all the time.
I’m not sure what’s happening in the San Joaquin Valley, but they’ve sure done a number on the San Fernando Valley.
I may yet move out of California, but I haven’t made that leap yet. I love the state. It’s has an amazingly diverse geographical territory. I know how much better it could be.
For the most part, California has a better state of affairs than most people think. Yes the state laws are bad, but probably 80% of the land is populated by people a majority of people who do have their heads glued on straight.
Ha! If only the folks in the Portland metro area built roads...not roundabouts and bike lanes...to help traffic congestion. That would be a dream come true! I don’t think they’ve built a new REAL road since I moved here, almost 23 years ago.
Weather isn’t so negative. At least in MS, one can plan for bad weather. Not so with earthquakes! We’re still receiving debris from the Japanese tsunami! The Barbours have not just mugged MS, but have disgraced the Republican Party there, as well.
Enjoy your slab of meat and hot, greasy tuber shreds!
My governor was Ronald Reagan. It was a good time to be in CA.
I’m so sorry to have watched what has happened there. It’s gone so far downhill. I’m just as sorry to have watched what’s happened to OR. Just look at our “First Lady”! She’s not the “first” to be disreputable, either.
The San Joaquin Valley was the bread basket of America. When I lived there it was the largest irrigated area in the world. Now, because of the delta smelt, the water has been turned off, and it looks like the desert it is..
If you are concerned about food prices, the delta smelt...and the government...are to blame for high produce prices.
I totally understand why you might not want to move. However, I’m from MS, and know the both sides of life as it can be.
I live most of the time in OR, but spend my quality time in MS.
Make SR49 a monument to Darwin Awards.
As you well know, State Highway 49 (The Golden Chain Highway) was to travel across the un-built top of the 2/3rd's completed Auburn Dam and Reservior.
As with the Rancho Seco Nuclear power plant in southern Sacramento County that has two abandoned cooling towers that can be easily seen from the Auburn area, there is a gigantic scar upon the American River canyon from all the millions spent on "dental work" to be the foundation of the state of the art dam.
The design called the "thin arch double curvature" dam that uses the high strength concept of the egg shell to act as a time machine to allow us to visit the water condensed and lifted here from the Pacific by solar power.
It was also designed to protect the Folsom Reservoir from over-topping and flooding the capitol of CA as well as all the miles of levees in the bay-delta as well.
From numerous past conversations with you on this site I know you are well aware of all this but I'm spelling it out here one more time.
I know it's in vain, but this is truly two of the world's most monumental monuments to stupidity ever abandoned due to a Jane Fonda movie and the extremely prejudicial lobbying by the commercial whitewater rafting corporations with their so-called "Not-For-Profit" corporate allies like Friends of the River, et al, that got the Democrats to sink the whole idea in a sea of wrong-headed, wasteful Luddite thinking!!!
