Now I realize that California liberals fleeing their State couldn’t get a clue if they smeared themselves with clue musk and did the clue mating dance in a field full of receptive clues at the height of the clue mating season, but here’s to tilting at windmills:
California is doing something wrong. Texas is doing something right. Quit trying to turn Texas into a carbon-copy of California. Leave us the hell alone.
— Lawdog, “This Is My Surprised Face”
I lived in the Bay Area for 18 months at the end of high school and was stationed in Monterey for a year. I love Monterey, but every time I go back to California I leave like my hair was on fire and my ass was catching. There are things about living in California I miss, but not many of them, and none of them are important enough for me to try to model my adopted home of Kentucky on that waste of good beaches.
