Pretty harsh, but pretty accurate assessment there Boz....As someone that was born and raised here, I can tell you it was not always like this. There are many things about Cal, and particularly SoCal that are great, and up until 5 or so years ago I couldn`t imagine living anywhere else....but with this tree hugging liberal government here seemingly embracing every immigrant mutt and filthy hobo on the planet, its no longer what it was....The bums and illegal cockroaches are welcomed here with open arms. You can`t really go to any establishment without someone trying to speak Spanish to you, or go to the market without seeing some fat pig with ankles the size of grapefruits and wearing flip flops and toting around her 6 kids while her husband stands in front of a Home Depot bullshitting with his amigos all day....My work, family, the beach, snow,racetracks,casinos, great restaurants, great looking women are all still here, but when I`m of retirement age, I`m on the first think smoking and heading East
