My favorite person in the whole wide world, excepting my kid, lives down there. :)

We have screwy politics too, I mean back in the early nineties our state-level politics were dominated by the sort of demonization of mexican immigrants you hear from the Minutemen and Lou Dobbs now, but out here they elected a governor on it and actually passed a law to keep undocumented kids out of schools (needless to say, overturned by the courts.) And of course, Nixon and Reagan got their starts here. :sigh:
