       I'm almost impressed.  How did you know it was trucks? :)

          Ahhh.  How quickly we forget.  Remember, under the new
     administration, that your Ruger is going away.  At least in Ca. :)

     Welcome to the jungle.  In the jungle.

     There's a sale on fire extinguishers at Sears.

          That makes two of us.  My homeland is dead.

          My clearest evidence?  Look at the number of supposedly
   happy California dreamers, bitching about people moving there. :)


>>       Heh. 10 minutes.

>Potato vodka doesn't count, Broward, you know that...


        Imagine my surprise, when I found out that a former winery
    owner in California, who I knew through a friend of a friend,
    was running a winery HERE!


>> 6 hours from Disneyland

>>      Good.  Won't get shot in back during a ride.

>snort* Now really Broward, I would expect this from Toddles, but you?
>Obviously you have never had the full Disney Security treatment...


          Hmmm.  You must have missed the little kid who got blown
     away in the skytram.


>>       See "lake" above.

>Yeah, I'll bet you love watching those dolphins and killer whales, dontcha?


          Well, I have to admit, I really enjoy being able to go just
   about anywhere, including rafting, swimming, etc, and not get mobbed.
   I can't believe the people here.  I live 3 miles from the lake.

   Hardly anyone goes there, except on holidays.


>>            Luckily, a large number of Americans believe as you. :)

>True, but we still helped put that Clinton character in office...our electoral
>piece of the pie is bigger than yours! :)


          Hehehehehehe.  Yep, it sure is.  When the Federal government
     finally starts shutting down, California's going to get a
     WHOPPING. It should be interesting.

          California has imploded far more eloquently than even *I*
     imagined.  I'm truly surprised at how badly it's fallen.  Here, did
     you know that the number of license plates being turned in here
     ( from California ) has continued growing?  I figured it would
     peter out after almost 3 years.

          And the budget mess.  Truly impressive.  An estimated
     7-9 Billion deficit AGAIN, for 1993.  An estimated 80,000 jobs
     going away in 1993.

          That isn't even COUNTING the delayed damage they've already
     done.  Imagine being a city worker, and getting told that you
     have to pay taxes on your full salary, but will receive 90%
     now, and the other 10% ...

               in Nineteen ninety FOUR!

     Hilarious.

     Let the Will of God be done.  :)


>Nah...CA needs a few more like you.....


         No, not in this lifetime.
         I've gotten used to being able to live. :)

         In fact, I don't even visit anymore.  It's really
   weird.  I just have no desire.  All my immediate family
   has left now.  <whistle>


>And I just want you to stop this shameless flirting *right now*! It's
>*embarrassing*! :)

         Well, anyway, I'll buy the Ruger for more than the $25
     the state will offer. :)
