Being a native of a very proud state we have certain ways of looking at life and for the most part they are a lot different than the ways of the North. To us a Good Yankee was one that came and then went back home. A Damn Yankee is one that stayed. What is even worse is one that came, became governor and now as president calls himself a Texan. Kinda hard for a fifth generation native Texan to except that train of thought.
Everyone have a great day.

Southern California, being the object of so many jokes, is the only place I can think of in the lower 48 where, in the Winter, you can ski in the morning and surf (the ocean) in the afternoon. Same goes for the Internet actually, it was invented and implemented here.
Since the Rose Parade is responsible for approximately a million people a year moving here we have developed the saying:
"Some bring joy when they arrive. Some when they leave"

You Live in California when...
1. You make over $250,000 and you still can't afford to buy a house.
2. The high school quarterback calls a time-out to answer his cell phone.
3. The fastest part of your commute is going down your driveway.
4. You know how to eat an artichoke.
5. You drive your rented Mercedes to your neighborhood block party.
6. When someone asks you how far something is, you tell them how long it will take to get there rather than how many miles away it is.
