Who Would Want to Live in California?

My apologies to those of you that live in CA, but with all that happens there, man, I cannot see any reason to live there myself...
POLUTION, MUDSLIDES, WILD FIRES, DUST STORMS, WATER CONSERVATION, EARTHQUAKES... What earthly attraction is there to live in California? Just because, for the most part, the weather there is so fair? Does the weather offset all else they share? Living here in N.J. may not be the best, But sure as hell, I don't want to live there... (My sincerest condolances to all that have lost anyone or anything because of the extreme fires out that way...The rest of the countries prayers and well wishes are with you all!)

Reindeer said it! I never dreamed that I would like coming to CA, let alone live here.... in fact, I always said, "I'll never live on the East Coast and I'll never live on the West coast." Well, I've lived both, plus North and South, and Central... this is, by far, the best I've found so far.... my condolences to those who have to fight the cold weather every year.... ha...
In Spirit,
Bear

My many years with Authors Den will come to a close in May, thank you to all that has reviewed of me, I hope you all continue on to your own end...

Most likely my END or maybe NOT!

Yep, it''s that time of the year again, break out the credit card...

Merry Christmas...

We all got em''...

The Saggy, Baggy Boobs Blues,

Growing up alone is not so bad...

Alone in life...

Memories I am Unable to Forget...

To wish for death...

I find it interesting that only in the wee hours of the morning is when I find myself able to write anymore... <br>

Rain, thunder & lightning, oh my...

Hey, I think I might have found a little humor...?

...NEAT...
