Wow !!!!!!! Never in my imagination did I think my comment would render such input about California. Just to let you all know I AM a native son of Northern California (born in the headlands of the Feather River and raised to adulthood in the Sacramento Valley) NORTH of Sacramento. We moved from there to Eastern Washington in 1970...so relatively speaking that was when California is vastly different than what it is today. I admire those of you that still live there and understand your heartfelt reasons for doing so. Family is most important to most all of us; and our sojourn here on earth is relatively short. Sometimes life deals us a hand we live with and learn to roll with what we are given.
As I said earlier...there are some good reasons for living in California. Family, job, sunshine, love of life...and many others. There are many others that are reasons not to like in California which I will not go into.

I am really excited about this coming Tournament at the 4QQQQQQQQs!!! Looking forward to Wednesday (20th) and my arrival in Las Vegas...renewing old friendships and making new ones.
