[pct-l] Damn So Cal Weather

[dsaufley at sprynet.com (dsaufley)]

I guess it's all where you live (or lived) in So. Cal.  I found what you say
to be true in the "valleys," but here in the high desert, I see the Milky
Way at night, there's 3,500 people spread over 26 square miles, and there's
not a stop light or traffic jam to be found.  And this is LA County.  I've
heard from many hikers that they were overwhelmed by the kindness and
hospitality they found down here from all kinds of complete strangers -- not
limited to Hiker Heaven.   

Idiots are everywhere, my friend.  You'll find them up north too, and
probably just about anywhere humans live.  I'm always amused when a terrible
crime happens in some quiet rural town, and the people always say, "I can't
believe that something like this happened here." As though geography
dictates the hearts and minds of man, and by merely getting away from the
city, you have found a utopia where the ugly side of mankind does not exist.
If only it were so simple; we could all just spread out and there would be
peace on earth.

We're suffering here in southern California today nearly perfect blue
skies, 
wisps of white clouds, 80 degrees(!!!!).  WOW! Sounds like a travel
agency.. 
I just moved from S.CA to WA and here are the reasons
 
It stated that "Nearly clear blue skies" If it was a clear blue  skies it 
would not be in S. CA . Blue is like black and blue in  SCA.You know they
don't 
know what a star looks like stars never penetrate  the smog. Then the word 
suffering which is true their lungs are suffering  from the smog (pollution)
The 
most polluted area in USA. 
 
14 million (13 Illegal) people all on the free ways bumper to bumper 80  
miles an hour. All with the California attitude "ME FIRST" When they have
rain  
the average rain day has 800 accidents on the free ways. Just think if it
rained 
 every day in SCA what a population control this would be. In driving school

teaches aggressive driving not defensive driving. Never let one car space  
between you and the guy in front of you, If you do you will have six cars
jumps  
in from of you. If you want to make a left turn go into the passing lane and

wait till the last second and cut off the person in the slow lane and make 
your  turn. Its "ME FIRST" at its finest.
 
Since I moved here to WA I never have to clean my windshield. IN SCA you  
can't remove the grease. When the stars come out they are big and bright.
The  
people are polite the ME FIRST has not caught on. 
 When I go into a Mac Donald's in WA I get the order right the  first time
in 
WA. It never happen in SCA. How can you screw up a cheese burger  with
French 
fries so many times? In SCA its always ten time wrong and one times  right
in 
everthing.. We have a large group of SCA here and we all go the nearest  
Aqueduct headed for SCA and guess what. Its not all water your drink down
there.  
Have your next drink on me. Just joking.
In my aerobic class no transplants all natural.
 
 I do miss the Angeles and San Bernardino NF's and my  friends. This morning

I am going snow shoeing in one of the passes. Love  the llama farms up here.

We're suffering here in southern California today.  Nearly  perfect blue
skies, wisps of white clouds, 80 degrees(!!!!).  I guess  this why I stand
in
line
everywhere I go and it takes me an hour each way  to get to and from work.
14
million people must like something about this  area and can't ALL be  wrong.
