No Winter Parking Needed

[Snotty]

Hey Friends, just wanted to make those of you living in snow country a little jealous. I've been driving my car all this week. Having fun during the day!

The long and the short of it! I am picking up this '85 Dodge 600 ES later today to try to sell it for the owner.

[hanks71440]

Yeah......you suck....we just got 10 inches of that crap

My God Man, how can you even afford the gas for that thing in that state? I used to be down state at Travis area. Yeah, the weather spoils you, but I had to get out, you should too!

How close are you to the fires?

 

[william spieth]

[LocuMob]

Drive the wheels off it! Yep, I'm jealous!

If you toast a sandwich on the defroster, you'll get hot. For me, it's multi-tasking.

I posted a similar thing on Facebook and received a similar response. I don't know what you are hearing about our gas prices, but I filled up with Premium at an ARCO on Monday, the day I took those pictures, and I paid $3.03 a gallon. Previously I had filled up in September (I keep all records) and I paid the same then. So, I don't know what you're hearing about our gas prices, but they're not bad.

I'm not. Chico is in Northern California, about two hours from Sac Town. The fires are in So. Cal. at this time. Now, when Santa Rosa was burning, as was Oroville and the Chester area, they were quite close then. Our air was quite bad.

OK, I gotta tell you, this comment never clicks with me. Every year there are Tornadoes in the Mid-West, and Hurricanes on the East Coast. EVERY YEAR! Yet all we hear in California is a fear of Earthquakes from those who don't live here. Sorry man, but I just don't understand that.

I have been in countless earthquakes in the 57 years I've lived here. (I lived in Nevada for two years.) I was five miles form the epicenter of the Loma Prietta Quake of '89. Yes, I was in Boulder Creek that very evening. Yes, it was a frightening experience. But, having an axle break on a motorhome while driving on I5 was a hell of a lot worse. I would rather go through that again that to stand and watch a tornado heading towards my home and wondering whether it will be standing in the next 20 minutes.

Earthquakes? You get used to them. We had a 3.8 just last week. No big deal.

Don't take it personally, it's not the earthquakes it's just a common trucker term with less syllables than California. You have nice weather blah blah blah, the rest of the state is a mess. Nothing personal it not my top 10 of places to live.

Earthquakes aren' predictable like a Hurricane or strong winds .

Seven years ago we had a 5. Something quake and you could feel it. A couple weeks back there was a 4.4 and I never felt it.

The quakes don't scare me, the people do

I will have had the snow blower running 3X in the last 5 days. Yeah you suck.

Lived in So Cal for 3 years.
Saw a guy looking at the sun, stripping in the street (on PCP) 1st day there, after a nice long day in a u-haul on a concrete 4 lane parking lot.
1 month after king beatings, we found ourselves in the wrong neighborhood
Fires seen licking high in the air at night across the bay from where we lived. San Pedro.
Had a car stolen and stripped out.
Mudslides onto the hwy's
Cost of living was high and we were poor
Northridge (nuff said there)
Compton was close by in case things needed to be spiced up a bit
Other than that the weather was nice
I left for a hostile zone in Eastern Turkey and felt much safer.
I will say this, Cali has much nicer beaches than Eastern Turkey.

This is my kinda traffic jam
