Well, Tom, my state flower is the bluebonnet, bird is the mockingbird, and we are known/famous for being pure badasses.
Chuck Norris lives here. Need I say more?
My state is Illinois. Crossroads of America, so corrupt that four of our Governors in about fifty years ended up in jail. Our strongest political leader in 40 years just got indicted. Leaders in debt, just about junk status, unfunded pension funds, high taxes, sanctuary state, and home to Chicago, murder capital of America, Also leaders in debt and unfunded pension funds and high taxes. Our mayor is the ugliest mayor in America with the self professed biggest dick in town, and nasty mouth, And the leader of our City Council for 30 or 40 years is under indictment. And we have one of the prettiest skylines and lake front in the world. Nothing like cruising down Lake Shore Drive on a motorcycle on a warm summer evening.
Sorry, that was supposed to be nice stuff. Well, at least I started nice and finished nice.

My sorry ass state is California. It’s history is amazing, it’s current condition is corrupt, the future is dreadful.
Our state bird is the predatory politician, flower is the San Francisco Fairy, fossil is literally pelosi, coin is fools gold, animal is the one and only Gavin Taxsome, better known as Gavin Taxsomemore.
Pity us here in the used to be beautiful sunny California.

Lots of homeless around Medford

Yes and there is a growing problem here in Coos Bay. Ten years ago it was rare to see a homeless person here. A couple weeks ago I started refurbishing a rental house when a homeless guy showed up at night while I was gone and tried to move in. The landlord and a neighbor ran him off at gun point. This happens frequently here now. The homeless see a place go vacant then they move in and take over. It is sickening .
