Saturday

I bailed decades ago and never regretted it. I can't see spending that much energy trying to keep up with the rat race just to have no time to enjoy anything, just working to pay for over priced lifestyle. I like my peace and quiet when I can find it, for me, it does not exist in California.

I'm glad the people there like it, 85% of my immediate family lives there.
