"I forget the percentage of Californians that were actually born here, it's low."
Same here. I'm third generation, a true oddity.
"Now that's a beautiful place, if you haven't been already the Santa Cruz / Monterey area is worth visiting. You can't judge California by LA / Orange County."
I have, and I have a niece in the area. If I were to move it would be a bit crowded for me. Cambria is nice (been to Wee Robbies?) and I get to the San Francisco area any chance I can. You are right about different. They are two different states in my mind.
"all I can remember is the being inside the Astrodome. It was awesome, it was the biggest thing I'd ever seen."
You should see the new stadium if you like big. It's built right next to the dome and makes the dome look really small. I hate it.
"Forgive my ignorance, do people even eat these animals or just put their heads on a wall? I'm resisting a strong urge to go any farther on this issue because I won't be able to remain civil. I do eat meat but I wonder what percentage of people would go veg if they had to do the killing themselves."
I think they just put the heads on the wall. Probably have them shipped ready for hanging. Gag.
My son wanted to go hunting really bad when he was young. Finally hubby and my brother took him out rabbit hunting. Two drunks in a pickup that night - but mom's place is so far out in the country they couldn't hurt anyone.
I told him he could go - but *only* if he cleaned them when he got back so they could be put in the freezer - and that he had to eat them. Bro told him to watch out for the intestines - about 2 seconds too late.
He never asked to go hunting again.
"We have refineries right here but can't actually burn the fuel they produce so we import it from somewhere else? "
I don't know that for sure. It was a guess based on the age. It would be interesting to find out though. Have they ever made the beaches close like the sewage does?
"I didn't think it was intentional. I thought it was happening because the rest of the world can see what 51% of us apparently can't."
I don't know if any action has been taken to *make* the dollar fall, but I've heard from reliable media sources that it is an unvoiced - to the public - policy to let it fall.
"Have you flown out of John Wayne though?"
Many, many times. It's way closer to the inlaws than lax is. You have to love the noise abatements stuff. Risk the flying public so the plates don't rattle in Newport Beach.
Wait til/if they add the new airport at El Toro. Last I heard they wanted to put the runways so the planes aim at the hills. The pilots don't like the idea.
Kaz air. Next post.
