You must be ultra sensitive--haven't seen any California bashing in the thread.

That's..very nice.

Perry is NOT moving to California. The question posed was entirely theoretical, but leave it to the media to skew the story with a misleading headline so the public doesn't bother reading the entire story to see that it's just a "what if" scenario and nothing more.

I like California a lot, but southern California, not the bay area. I have family there and we always have a very good time because there's lots to do, the weather is almost always perfect and the scenery is breathtaking. We stay away from LA as much as possible, though. Love the Temecula area, Lake Forest, San Diego, etc. But Texas is home. The USA is a beautiful country from New England to California.

I've always said that people in the bay area think they have all the answers but I don't think they even know the question.

California is beautiful, unfortunately the taxes and regulations make it hell.

I did that, twice. Once in south and once in the Bay Area. Couldn't afford to buy a house either place. Not even a shithole. But, other than housing the cost of living was pretty reasonable.

You've lived here..and I don't hear any California bashing out of you...hmmm.[/quote]
No, Overall I enjoyed living in California. What I didn't care for was a lot of the people that live there. They tend to have an "attitude" toward people from flyover country.

How are the attitudes in Texas toward California?

The State of California is one of the most geographically beautiful and diverse places on Earth.

It's going to take about 100 more Curmudgeon posts like that one to make up for all the meanie ones!

The problem with Kali is the people that move there.

Well, as a 34 year resident..I'm about as native as you can find!

I agree, born/raised there, left almost 37 years ago.
My 91 year old dad, also born there as was his mom, also agrees.

How about asking them? Make friends and ask.

It could be as simple as "home of ...." written in Arabic.
I admit, kinda odd to so so, knowing the climate of the country. Maybe it says "Allah/God is good."
"Jesus saves"

ask them ? I wave at them and they turn their heads ..no way am I am going to butt into their "privacy" ..you can tell they do not want to be friends ...it may even say Welcome ..but, I'll never know ..why not put a English speaking Welcome ? so far the only problem we have with them is that they do not take care of their yards. Grass and weeds grow for weeks before mowing ..the houses are started to look really bad and this is a nice neighborhood

I lived in Munday for two years...

Unless you farm, no reason to be there..

Can't remember if we had this discussion before. Did you know my relatives, the Offutts?

I don't think we've talked about this. I did know some Offutts. And I had two great friends there. But Munday, like Cisco, is dying because there are no jobs and not enough water to bring jobs/industry to the area.
