why I am happy to have left California life in the rearview mirror....
1. No long lines at DMV...in fact, no lines!!!
2. No waiting at the launch ramp on a weekend to get on the myriad of beautiful lakes, and rivers here.
3. No EPA/CARB/Noise pollution regs...in fact, I chucked my header baffles at the Cali border.
4. It cost me $68 to register my 2003 4x4 Chevy Crew cab....and that was including the $25 fee for firefighter plates.
5. You are actually able to drive the freeways at any given time, AND do the speed limit!!!
6. Grocery prices are half as much as they were in SoCal.
7. ALL of my insurance premiums dropped by almost half.
8. Gas prices today for 87 octane? $1.67
9. Excellent weather...and zero smog.
10. Oh, did I mention no launch fees at lakes, and no illegal immigrants/poor white trash coming down to change their kid, and leave the shitty diaper floating only to be later sucked up by my jet.
In case you missed the hidden meaning here, it is simple.....
CALIFORNIA CAN SUCK MY ASS!!!! :p

You don't mean it now...
I'm 4th Generation Californian and I can't imagine any other place I'd rather call home...Except Teluride or Cortalaine (sp?) or Phoneix, or...
Well, you know what I mean...

Coeur d'Alene
We had a get together up there last year. Here's a link to some of the pics LBBA in Idaho (http://www.laidbackboaters.com/id94.htm)
My mother in law just moved to Twin Falls last year and she loves it. It just might be a place for us to move....not sure about being so close to the MIL though :D

Don't worry, Boise does get smog. Just as bad as LA but, it is only in the early winter. Comes from all the wood heat used there. It will just remind you why you left LA.
The best thing about Boise is how clean the city is.

I love the area where I live here in Northern California, but the state is a wreck. If I could get my wife to move out of here, I would in a heartbeat. But then there is that darn work thing... gotta find something that pays fairly good money... You don't have to make a mint like you do in California because taxes, real estate, gas etc is cheaper, but to maintain your lifestyle, you still need to make like 2/3 of what you would make in California...hard to do in places like Idaho.

Well, I will have to admit that I am gonna miss Parker/Havasu/Needles/Laughlin. Especially during the week when there werent that many people there, and you could just cut loose without worrying about the assloads of people. -DD Out

Well, DD when you come to visit Parker now, you'll be just another damn out of state tourist..... :D :D :D
If all the people who weren't born in California would just leave, it would be a great place again. :D

Oh yeah....I myself dislike CA and would up and move in a heartbeat to AZ, but unfortunately the $ aren't what they are out here for Luvnlife's line of work, so we'll stay put as long as I can take it! :D

DD, not that you really had many friends over here, but I am sure you miss the few you had. lol :D The reason why Idaho is so peacful is because they knew you were coming to town and they all moved to CA, to get away from you. j/k :eek: ;) :D
Sounds like things are going well over there, tell Linda we said Hi.
:D :cool:

Mandelon is right....if the friggin out of staters (like myself) would leave Cali, the population would drop by at least a 1/4. Yes, I do miss my boating buddies for sure, and the fun times we had down there. However, I plan on being in Parker a couple times this year, hopefully hitching a ride with Bill and Shelli on the "poon-toon" boat...lol. -DD Out

I have lived in Portland, OR for 3 years and have 1 more to go and i cant wait to move back to So. Cal. There is no way i would ever live in the Pacific Northwest. After being born and raised in Cali and moving away you truly see how nice Cali is. Yes i agree with you that there are way too many people, way too many illegals, way to high of prices, but at the same time it has its benefits that i am not willing to give up.

I've lived here all my life and I can honestly say Guadafornia Sucks! I'd be out of here RIGHT NOW if my wife would bend. I'm Tired of the ****ing Illeagals, pimps, thugs, and con-artists. I'll probably only be on this planet for 40 more years and I don't want to waste them in this shithole. If this state had half the people i'd stay, but it's all ****ed-up now.:yuk: :cool:
And Oh Yea. What about all the Bullshit Laws, ordinances, and Taxes? The only benefits of being here is the Wheather, and being a homeowner. In my opionion, that's not worth-it.:(
Call me a whiner if you want, but I long for the Good-ole-days.:cool:

Well said. Is it Guadalafornia? I hate paying for socialistic ideals and illegals that take advantage of them........:mad:

They come over here and treat America like a trashcan. They exploit it for their own benefit and give nothing in return except cheap, half-ass labor (if that), and taking any hand-out available to them. When my Grandparents came here from the Old Country, they didn't operate like this! Anyway, don't get me started on Illeagals!:mad:

I did!!!! LOL.....
Bill, when is OP6 this year??? And is it in HavaZoo, or Parker? I miss you and Shell, you guys are definitely good people.
Getting out of SoCal was definitely the right move for me. I really dont see ANY benefit that would warrant staying there, but hey, to each their own. IMHO, it will continue to worsen, not improve. If you think the freeways are bad now, give it another 3-5 years.
If you think that housing prices are high, I have a feeling that they are only going to keep rising. Supply and demand.
The illegals are going to continue to pour over the border into cali as well. Your tax dollars will keep going for programs that have absolutely ZERO benefits to you or your family.
There is not a lake anywhere in SoCal that even compares to what I have seen here, beauty-wise.
People are very friendly here as well. They dont have that nose- up-in-the-air, stick up their ass mentality. Of course, the few that you run across that do, they must be from SoCal.... :D

When my house is done appreciating hundreds of thousands of dollars, maybe I will go to Idaho and buy a county or two. :D Not. Of all the places on my list to go, Idaho is not one of them. Maybe that is why there are not many people living there. To each their own. I just don't understand people who leave CA and then try to justify there decision by trashing it. If only more would leave. :D

Well, its simple. California sucks ass....:D
Besides, there is absolutely no justification on my part. I am simply stating that there are better ways to spend your existence on this planet other than supporting everyone and their mother with your hard earned income.
To each their own....-DD Out
