Got that from an old Navy buddy from back in the 60's and he says that it's really that bad out there.
He's been trying to sell out for 2 years now with no luck.

A local radio personality called California the Granola State. Nothing but fruits, flakes, and nuts.

It was a nice place before it filled up with Californians.

We lived in California when my hubby retired, but I continued working for a couple of years. At that time, we had had enough and moved to our prepared retirement home - in Texas where there is no state income tax, very little "I demand to control you" attitudes, at least where we were. Life was so much better there.

I maybe misremembering this but I believe a psychic in the 50s or 60s predicted with certainty that in 1974 California would suffer a gigantic earthquake and break off and fall into the ocean. Everyone with money knew it would happen and were selling their property in the state, allegedly.
Imagine how much misery would have been prevented in the rest of America, if only he would have been right.

I'll have you know my son's third grade teacher (my youngest, the rest were homeschooled past that point) did not have purple hair, a nose ring, nor was her name flower; however, she did have a girlfriend "life partner"! ;-)

Actually, it was a nice place before everybody moved out here and started CALLING themselves Californians. There is a big debate out here about non-native species. Tree huggers want the Striped Bass to be destroyed because it is non-native. I always reply that since they are also non-native, we'll start that discussion as soon as they leave.
Edit: A young guy I fish with went on a date one night. Fairly early, he showed up where a bunch of us were fishing. When I asked what happened he told me he had mentioned that he liked to fish. The young "lady" started screaming at him that he was a fish murderer. It was much funnier after he told me they were sitting in a Sushi restaurant when it happened.

I was there in the '70's. Lived in the Imperial Valley the last 13 years, and we had quakes often. Some were very slight, but we had one pretty good one that scared the daylights out of me. It was also in the '70's that a freeway overpass in southern California fell during a quake. I didn't do well with earthquakes - so I moved to Texas where they have tornadoes. ANYWHERE can be dangerous. Mother Nature doesn't play favorites.
:D :D :D
