No offense, but what is the big deal about those desert states? The dry air appeals to the elderly but that's about the only advantage I can see. I prefer the greenery of the Eastern states.
It was a cultural shock because I never heard of having to do that before. Also all I see there are fences and once you get used to the wide open spaces, it's impossible to go back. I'll take bears and coyotes over people any day.
So why are you on the internet arguing with me instead of frolicking with the bears in your back 100 acres? :^)
I'll never tell.
FITZ is just taking a break from the ongoing battle to keep the Californians out.
