  1. Probably going to send to my cousin living in Ramona (near San Diego). He would agree with a lot of those facts.

  2. The only TV star you know is the cat from the cat food commercial, and he voted for Kamala.

  3. If Clooney was working at starbucks, I would break my rule about not going there to go there and laugh at him. My dog’s therapist is anything I am cooking, because the nose knows.

  4. Spot on!

    I had a firsthand encounter with #1 about 30 years back – a coworker had gauges, an eyebrow ring, and favored tank tops to show off multiple tattoos. Another coworker (recently moved in from out of state) said something like “Wow, you have a lot of tattoos and piercings!”. First coworker proudly told us about each one and offered to show us the rest (full body suit + nipple, navel, and genital piercings, I think) in the locker room. We declined. Back then, it seemed a little alarming. Now, it may be a work requirement for some businesses.

    I’ll admit to being guilty of #7 myself. I drink a lot of coffee (black, no sugar, so I CAN taste the differences) and know what I like. I *earned* my screen name.

    And I WISH the Terminator (even if he turned into a squish) was still our governor, rather than the current waste of oxygen. Hell, I’d even take Jerry Brown (hack, spit) over Newsom – at least he had SOME administrative and budgeting skills.

  5. I’ll take your word for California. I can’t think of a reason someone will pay me to go there and I won’ go on my own dime.

  6. The fun part of Q #5 (and repeats) is that the taxes CA levies on legal pot are so high what legal ‘dispensaries’ there are can’t compete with the illegal product and sellers.

  7. re #10 – CA is highest in country followed closely by Hawaii (not unexpectedly) and WA – all over $4.00 for gallon of regular. At least it’s not European prices (yet).
    re: #16 – one time in late 90’s or early 00’s I drove from just north of San Diego to Orange County – it had sprinkled rain and thus turned the buildup of dirt and grease into a very slick surface – I stopped counting at 34 accidents over that 50-ish miles – just amazing
    One not listed – if your house burns down and after a year you haven’t been able to get a permit to rebuild (neither have any of your former neighbors)…

    • The first rain after months of road oil buildup turns CA highways into skating rinks, the road are like black ice. I lived there over 30 years and every year the beginning of the rainy season was one mulit-car accident after another.

  9. Heh. The election in which the Terminator ran was rather entertaining. One of the debates amongst the frontrunners was held on my university campus. I was able to watch on CCTV live in the student union. You had to know somebody in student government to get tickets for the ballroom to watch in person and I wasn’t connected.

  10. All- Sadly true… when I worked out there in the late 90s, it RAINED for the first time in something like 4 years in LA. Over 330 accidents in the morning, and over 200 in the evening ‘rush’…at 5 mph…

  11. Price of gas in Glennallen Alaska is $4.13. Rural, on the road system. If you are driving between Anchorage and the border most people stop and top up.

    • It’s only $3.39 in Sutton Alaska which is often similar to Anchor. . We won’t even consider the price off the road system!

  12. You know you’re from California if:

    21. Every mile or so on every highway there’s a melted rectangle of asphalt where a Tesla (or other EV) caught fire, and the fire department let it burn because they didn’t have the 30,000 gallons of water needed to contain it.

  13. A friend of ours (in CA) had a kid in little league where they didn’t keep score. *rolls eyes*
