THIS is why I love Southern California. . .

I'll take all this areas problems - hot summers, rolling blackouts, illegal immigration rallies, unaffordable housing and the rest - just to never have to look at this again for the rest of my life:

http://www.cnn.com/2006/WEATHER/10/13/ny.snow.ap/index.html

Makes it all worth it. Ahhhh. I think I'll go for a drive with the top down today and enjoy the 70+ degree sunshine on my face. Bliss.

Porsche-o-phile, Did you feel that last shaker ?

Dude, wtf, do you want MORE friggen people here.


If I could run California ANYONE who moves here would be required to live in Barstow for two years.

This means ANYONE.

After they've done their two years in Barstow, then they could move within 20 miles of the coast.

If a couple is half Californian/out of state they could get a pass to move within 10 miles.

And they would also have to pay a water use tax, as well not have voting rights.

My family on one side has been here since 1863

the otherside 1938

Jim, we have 200,000 people invading this state from the south every year and we do nothing to stop them, how could we possibly enforce your proposal?

+1 on the Barstow idea ... I'm doing my 'practice' time in Las Vegas

The weather is the best thing about living here... Beach is cool too...get out of the city, and there are many nice places to visit north of LA... but the weather is probably the best thing about so cal.

Man Barstow, I couldnt last 20 days there...

I don't know... I got up this morning nd it was... what... sixty? Brrrrrr! AND thirty percent chance of rain! (not going to happen, welcome to the land of weather men on acid) and there was a BIG SPIDER that built a web across the stair railing! Fortunately I had last nights pizza box in hand to whack him back into infinity. It take a special kind of person to endure this rigorous life style!

Amendment subparagraph "A", "if invoking the 'big boob' exception to this amendment, such individual must be female and able to prove this".

In other words, NO MAN BOOBS!!!

Ever.

From the cover article in the Lifestyle section of today's Cape Cod Times. This is regarding layering clothing for these cooler New England fall days.

"These autumn days that begin with temperatures in the 40s and soar to the 60s leave folks shivering in the morning and stripping in the afternoon."

Huh? Soaring into the 60s? Stripping because of that?

I miss LA weather. And its abundance of big boobs, too.

"stripping in the afternoon."?

Perhaps I need to reevaluate this whole north easterner thing.

Trust me, speaking as one who grew up there, you'd pay money to have most of them NOT strip. . .

Don´t let anyone in, lest they are Austrian. They can be Governors.

Let me get this right, you love where you are because of what happens elsewhere? I was expecting some sort of great news out of So Cal. I guess there wasn't any!

It ain't so much that I love it here because of what happens elsewhere, I love it here because of what DOESN'T happen here. Kind of like saying "I like my street 'cause it doesn't have gangbangers and crack hos hangin' out on the street corners and drive-bys".
