"Oh and not to mention, HELL would have to freeze over 5 times before I ever consider taking a vacation out there. Vegas is as close as I'll ever get to that land of nuts and fruits."

Whoa there pardner! I used to say the same thing about CA until I spent my last year in the Army here over thirty years ago (I never left). Despite all the fruits and nuts California has a great deal to offer. We've also added a lot to this fine country of ours the likes of which are none other than Ronald Reagan. So don't be to hard on CA. Yes we do have a libs who run this state but we do our best to vote them out. Problem is, they (the libs) pay the Mexicans (free health care, education, welfare, etc.) to vote democrat and in loretta sanchaz's district I heard they even voted more than once not to mention the illegals who vote. But sometime when things get real stinking bad here, like the way things are now, even the reagan dems get fed up and toss the libs to the lions. So we'll see what happens in the next election cycle. But (and I know I'll get flamed by my other CA brothers for saying this) come on out for a visit sometime. The weather is great and the beaches are very cool. And believe it or not you may even meet some democrats out here that you might like! Have a nice day :-}

I'll take my home state of Florida over Commiefornia any day.
1. We still have cigar bars. They haven't been banned.
2. We have 3 NFL teams and the best college football in America.
3. We don't have a governor who uses the PSC to get payola from the power companies. Oh and our lights only go out during hurricanes, not due to poor planning and envirowhackos.
4. We don't have a tax on our soda pop because we don't have socialist behaviorial rocket scientists in our legislature.
5. We can still by assault rifles and plink econodeathtraps at the junk yard for fun.
6. And most importantly of all.....WE LOVE OUR SUVS and don't believe in letting the state government becoming a dictatorship.

When another Reagan type finally gets elected out there (I doubt that I'll live to see that), I'll consider visiting. Otherwise, LAX is just a bad stop on the way out to the South Pacific for me.
