Sounds just like Deleware county NY except you forgot 16b. other 364 days used for a bottle of Bud. Oh yeah some of the road numbers are different.

You must have an excellent sense of humor to post that. I see you're from California.

Heh~Heh, Well Dan everybody hates California. I live so far up in northern california that california is trying to catch up to me. I love california for its beauty and climate but my love stops there. All the weird`os & major politicians live many miles south of me.

P.S. Have you noticed that I dont display the california flag by my Avatar?.

I know you're not alone in your feelings toward California.

I saw on another board where someone said he was from The PRK. He then explained that The PRK is The People's Republic of Kalifornia.

I was able to grin about it but I think he really has some hard feelings about things there.

..and JB's got "The Governator" to back up everything he says

Yeah, And what a phoney he turned out to be.

Every time I read the list I can't help but feel, " They would make good friendly neighbors"

I live in a little town about 70 miles, pop. 2500, north of Los Angeles.
I don't know why but the lowlanders haven't found it yet or they know it's here but just don't like rattlesnakes and rednecks. Anyway, here's a funny little story. I had to go to the L.A. county Department of Building and Safty awhile back to get a grading plan approved. When the guy I talked to saw where I lived he said he didn't like it up there because there's too many rednecks and everybody has guns. He said someone ran him off their property awhile back and he was wearing a gun. He called the local Sheriff and complained and the Sheriff told him there was nothing he could do unless the property owner threatened him with the gun, which he didn't. I'm hoping he spreads the word.

Well Brent it sounds like your town is also not growing with the influx of illegals that has set upon most of the states like locusts. I heard that L.A. and surrounding area flies the Mexican Flag now.
