You're fortunate to live in Arizona. Here in California, we might as well rename our state "Mordor," because there is nothing but darkness.

The evil of Mordor, land of Sauron, lies to the East. It can be found sandwiched between the realms of Maryland and Virginia.

When you speak of California, you speak of Isengard and Orthanc to the West, the land of the Saruman and his evil orc and Uruk-hai hordes.

I live in Arizona where you may find the Riddermark (Riders of the Mark/Riders of Rohan) and Edoras.

Your sentiment is correct, but you need to get your geography straight.

I have a friend who just moved back to TX from CA. She lived in San Jose and her biggest complaint was the hours she and her husband had to spend sorting their trash. She sarcastically called it, "a religious experience".

Even Mordor would reject that cesspool
