California Observations, and questions

[DinoMikeSr]

My girl is from California, grew up around Huntington Beach. She doesn’t wear makeup, is a jeans and T-shirt girl, artist, loves sun light, mornings and dusk.

I'm aware. I have a lot of family in the middle/ northern part of the state. In fact my uncle was once the mayor of Carmel.

Did he tell you to:

I haven't been to SanDiego yet to make a true assessment of "Southern California", but I do agree that San Francisco and north has more in common with Seattle than it does with LA.

I would say in years past, more toward my youth, that NorCal (not rural, talking in and around SanFrancisco and surrounds) was more Gucci. But that has changed and now Seattle matches up there, for better and worse.

There are always exceptions to the rule/stereotypes/cultural majority.

San Diego isn’t quite as bad, unless you go to La Jolla.

isn't SAN DIEGO as a whole kinda uppity and right wing though? I have a cousinh who lives there and she's been there with her husband since probably 1989 and when they bought their mansion there was some claus that they were suppossed to keep the flagpole flying the flag. They bought the home from some retired navel officer or something.

Well, that's completely unenforceable. Not speaking to whether to fly the flag or not. Just unenforceable clauses in real estate sales contracts.

Oh I don’t doubt it but it none the less was one of those good faith things and I’m not sure that would happen in other cities…..at least back then. today, yes I wouldn’t doubt it

Ahhh, San Diego, or as the Germans say, a Whales Vagina.

Huntington Beach is 'Surf City USA'.
So Cal did steal that name from Santa Cruz.

It's a pretty even mix overall, but if you go to east county you'll find plenty of rednecks.

Yes indeed they did. Anyone can surf warm water, try surfing in 54° swells.

Don't forget the great white sharks.

I wish I had balls to surf here. Ever. But not even when I was young.

That very well might be my favorite documentary. It's tied with a few others at the top. Thanks for posting!

Been there - done that (body surfing). Froze my butt off - but worth it.

And then theres Mavericks. Screw that place.

My most successful surfing was on the Oregon Coast (cold, but fun) and a bit on Hawaii. But never was any good. Just a PNW wannabe.
