[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 987709, member: 9789"] My wife & I spent 55 years in CA and watched the state deteriorate in front of our eyes. I feel bad for all our friends and relatives who still live there and have to put up with the ubers. My wife has warned me not to say anything bad about CA when we talk with our friends and family. I used to burst with pride being from CA... now I am embarrassed to mention that I used to live there. It started about 35 years ago. We had a bad year of earthquakes, fires and landslides and I visited my Chicago family and when I met new people they would say, "I am so sorry you are from California....Are you OK?". This was just an omen of things to come... On a positive note.. I am glad to here that More you have not become jaded like me and still love your OC Paradise. Most of my family feels the same way you do. [/QUOTE]
