Seen on Instapundit regarding California's completely avoidable water shortage:
1000 miles of coastline, and you have a water shortage. Should have been desalinating 50 years ago, dipshits.
California was the land of hopes and dreams for many. Now, its southern half is needles, violence, tent cities, and human shit. I know one of my readers lives there and would beg to differ, but the news coming out of Cali is routinely bad. Any desire to revisit the place shriveled and died in my heart years ago.
Personal note: my buddy Mike just came back from Cali, but he visited a port town not far from San Francisco. San Fran is another city that's not too healthy these days.
I'm a Californian, born and raised. I left in 1978 because, as a parent, I didn't want my kids to grow up there. It was paradise then compared to now. I actually feel sorry for people who are living there.
ReplyDeleteSo what motivated the move back in 1978? Already seeing bad trends? Something else?
ReplyDeleteI think the trigger was wanting to bus my kids to another town to achieve racial integration in the schools.
ReplyDeleteBeing able to live in the small mile-high city of Prescott, AZ, was also a factor. I'll never regret making that move.
