I hear ya'll !
But where we live out here, you'd never know you were in California.. other than, the occasional BS environmental impacts from Sac Town.... those things happen.. no matter where we live.. nowadayz. CENCAL.. ain't the Cali you see & hear about on the News.
Here it's: Two seasons (no snow) , crime is low-low, the pace is slooow, own our home, small house, big lot, RV & boat on the property, GREAT neighbors, very quiet "hood".. 2 hour from the coast, 2 hours from the Sierras, 10 hours from the nearest relatives, LA & SF are foreign country, rush hour is 10 minutes long (but you Do halfta watch-out for Farm tractors).. Pioneer families still run the growth.. i.e; Developers are not well thought of......
When I weigh all that.. I'll stay Right Here.. Thank you Very Much
Life Is Good
