My Mother is like that woman.
She was originally from California. Moved to Texas.
Now, i'm from Cali as well, but I moved to Texas because the people and culture there fit me more. She moved there for cheap land, and because her husband got a job out there.
Anyways, she is the typical California transplant trying to impose her california ideas and values on everyone else. Her latest crusade is about people killing deer on their own property. There's an overpopulation problem, and some of the residents have taken to shooting them with bows. No noise, and the lots are around 5-8 acres apiece, so there's really no danger.
SHE IS UP IN ARMS about it. Petitioning the HOA, calling politicians, acting like a fool. We got into a huge argument over it, that ended with me saying, "Mom, these are freedom loving people taking care of a nuisance on private property. You have no right to complain about it."
Later, she made a comment about how she needed wasp spray because a nest was somewhere on her property. I said "Oh, heavens no! You can't do that! They're creatures, and that spray is dangerous!!!"
She hung up on me.
C&SD: We need to hang out when i move down that way. I like your stories. I'll shoot you a PM when we get settled in, for the housewarming party.
By party, of course, I mean grilling meat over flame and drinking shiner.
