We're pregnant!
...wh? ...whut? ...oh, never mind. Cancel that...
We're trying to get pregnant! Minus the whole having-a-baby and
raise-it-to-adulthood thing. Yeah, done with that.
What was the question again?
And for some reason we're surrounded by water...

In our travels for over two years in the RV, I noticed no matter what state you were in, there was always an influx of people from another state or area that long-time residents are sure are ruining their way of life.
The thing that got me about California is what you see on media covers so little of the land that it encompasses. There are great little towns that are significant for their agricultural contributions and such a wide variety of eco-systems. I really do love our time there and the difference in the lifestyle between living in Eureka vs. Palm Desert vs. Sacramento or San Diego. I’m also perfectly happy skipping LA altogether, whenever possible. :)
Tim and I will still be taking the RV down south for the winter when we’re tired of the rain in January-April, so I’m glad for California just south of us, even if the Californians keep moving up here and changing Oregon. :)

Though if I do ever find myself living in CA again, I'll be doing
so sans bumper sticker. :)
Seriously, though, Austin is very cool. Congrats to you and yours!

Oh, most definitely. And though I don't condone what
those passengers did, I know it comes from a long storied
history of feeling disrespected in their own state.
I also generally don't like bumper stickers as they are
mostly a form of passive aggression.
Fun fact. The guy who made and distributed (or who is
purported to have done so) that "Native" bumper sticker
that many Coloradans are proud to sport on their
vehicles, was born and raised in Utah.

OK. True story. My first time visiting Colorado was
for “Keystone I” the first OAUG meeting managed by
Meeting Expectations. (1991, late winter, only the A

Keystone.)
A car with flashing highbeams pulls even in the
passing lane and we’re getting the bird from all the
passengers and they are screaming “Go back to Texas!”
We’re confused. I roll down the window. We’re from
New Hampshire. Why did you think we were from Texas?
And why don’t you like Texans?
So they stop gesticulating and one says your license
plate says Texas. Oh – it’s a rental. He goes on
Texans clog up our ski areas and buy drinks for all
the prettiest girls. Then they went faster.
Bumper sticker: “Don’t Californicate Colorado.” I met
a lot of nice people in Colorado. I guess every state
has its share of inconvenient persons.

Back in the early 80’s I was in Seattle at the UW and

was circulating.

Now the real challenge will be the very real
threat of tax refugees from California
paradoxically wanting an income tax.
I have failed in many of my efforts to keep
New Hampshire New Hampshire, but so far our
tax refugees from Massachusetts and New
Jersey have not been able to get past our
constitution on that one. (We don’t have many
New York tax refugees; they tend to move to
Burlington, VT. Probably they are thinking:
“That worked out nicely for Bernie.”)
Anyway Texas, en garde and good luck!
