I occupy two homes in CA.

It will be hard resisting the urge to move Mississippi, but I'll try. ;)

Wow!

Enjoy your pretty homes while you can. We will still be here in the South when Kalifornia implodes.

You may occupy two houses, but only one can be home.

You have two beautiful places.
I love CA's desolate beaches,
(from my childhood).

Is that HB I see in that pic? I live in Surf City, too. Proud to be in Orange County, one of the four coastal counties in California that went for Bush in 2000. Was born and raised one of those other counties, SLO, and went to college in yet another, San Diego.

I get a kick out of all these folks who seem to think that California is either solid-ugly L.A. or hippy-dippy San Francisco, and that's it. The VAST majority, and I mean VAST majority, of California (a huge state, I believe the third largest in the Union after Alaska and Texas) is very rural and very, very scenic. I've lived in the South (Florida), and been to many different states, and while each is beautiful in its own way, overall California is the most beautiful hands-down simply because it has much more variety. It has almost everything -- from tropical beaches to redwood forests to deep, clear lakes, to deserts, to stunning mountain foothills, to high mountains (the Sierras) with full-on winters and colorful falls, to an incomparable Central Coast that rivals the Mediterranean and the French Riviera.

But the popular thing is to bash California, so oh well!! And for what it's worth, us native Californians know what real barbecue is. It isn't boiling or broiling the sad bejeezus out of a hunk of meat for four days and then slathering it in sickeningly-sweet tomato-based sauce. Barbecuing is sprinkling a bit of garlic salt on a nice top-lock or tri-tip and cooking it outdoors over an open fire, preferably one fired by oak wood or mesquite. That's barbecue. No gimmicks, no sauce (unless it's a bit of salsa on the side) no tricks. Sweet. Simple. Real Californian -- and REAL barbecue. (But I would never tell that to a Texan for two reasons: a) I'd hurt his/her feelings and b) probably get my nose busted! ;^)

LoL, pretty, but I'll take my view over yours anyday of the year. Alabama Little River area on Lookout Mountain is home forever.
