Spectacular weather.

[Lee]

Probably not as amazed as the parents who had to scramble to find daycare or take a day off work to watch their kids...  shocked

Yep...I've spent 5 days at home over the past two weeks.  First it was the cold, then the snow and ice.  It was fun for a day or so...but time, nor work, stood still.
I'll pay dearly for it, for another week or so.

A great deal of innovations have come out of California.

Quite a few Nobel prize winners, too.

Think about it...

[Laurent du Var]

Yeah, everybody !
Keep up the Bashing of leftist, Austrian-run Kahlifornia !

Vive la France !   

Sorry, Typhoon, it's good to have somebody else taking the crap !
25° Celsius on the Côte d'Azur, I've been running outside with a sleeveless shirt, dying from my allergy of blooming Mimosas. People are swimming in the Mediterrenean sea and I can see the snow coverd French alps from my parking lot. 

I used to live in CA for a couple of years, and I think there were a lot of assault Uzis in let's say South Central LA, other than that I loved it, which may not be
of help to you , Typhoon.

Typhoon, come on.  You started a thread with the purpose of bragging about your warm weather and then you get all touchy when there's some backlash?  You started this snowball fight, and unarmed at that.    But, hey, I don't have to tease you about California politics.  I just pity for your lack of a proper winter.  Don't know what you're missing, I guess.   

[El Tejon]

Yes, I live in Indiana and its full of snow, skiing and guns.  Of course, now that it is warming up and going to rain, it will be full of water and guns.

[Gewehr98]

Yeah, ok.

A great deal of innovations have come out of California.

Quite a few Nobel prize winners, too.

Like that's the only place innovations and Nobel prize winners come from.   

Certain parts of Kalifornia are actually pretty cool.  They're also the counties that wish to secede from the rest of the state.

My father went horseback riding in California in the Sierra a couple of years ago.  He was worried that as Californians the guides would not appreciate his being armed (Bisley in .45LC).  The guides laughed and showed him their own pistols.
