Just a quick intro. Retired USAF, living in Taliban held Kalifornistan. Lived around the world and life is a lot better here even though it's all headed to hell in a hand basket, than many other places. Remember we all have a choice life or death, and some battles along the way. God bless
Hey glad to have you here. Sorry about the California thing though. Join us on the shoutbox. It gets pretty hilarious sometimes.
Welcome to Survival Monkey @paraclete. I agree with you. I know that CA has a bad rap but it is better than many places. Most think of LA area when they think of CA but I know that there are some spots that are really nice, conservative and not "plastic". There is good and bad with every place. I know CA has higher school standards then here.
