Yep, California has pretty much everything you could want. You can live at the beach, go skiing for the day, and then come home for the sunset. We even have DisneyLand there!

I have often thought about running for president of California. I would make it into it's own country, with three states: Northern California, Southern California and Baja California (Mexico doesn't need Baja anyway), and the District of San Diego would be the home of the new nation's capital.

Can you imagine the property value of the coast line of Baja (that practically encircles Baja) if it were part of the United States of California!

(Okay, okay, I know it sounds crazy, but it's my thread... and I'm quite home sick )

Nah, they wouldn't sink, just get really shaken up (and we would all move a couple inches north). Parts of USC are actually on the Pacific plate (the same plate as Japan) and not on the North American plate. The Pacific plate is rotating counterclockwise and rubbing the North American plate.

Besides, the worst earthquake I've been in was a 3.6 (I was on top of that one ), and the Northridge quake, but I was over a hundred miles away from that one, so I hardly felt it (it was at like 4:30 am, and I was sleeping ).

well i have been in a 6.something earthquake back in the 70's in LA. It woke me up with stuff flying off my shelves. It didn't last long but it was a bit scary as it was the first one i had ever really felt. Since then i have come to accept earth movements as common. no big deal. i missed them when i was in oHIo. I think i have felt 2-3 of them since i have been in the bay area even though they happen somewhere around here almost weekly.

I think we tend to worry more about brush fires during the summer. They are always devastating and risk the lives of the firefighters as well as others.

tolya - for an international man of mystery, your concepts of calif. are kinda stereotypical

I'll accept that only if Sacramento is part of Southern California and San Franciso is the capital of Northern Capital... If not SF, then Humbolt.
