Sparky, we don't give enough respect for the WC.
I don't think the Capt has anything against the West Coast Sparky. It is just that you guys have so much going on out there all of the time - that the WC region is constantly in the news. Nobody's fault here...just some numbskulls that we can't find and throttle while you wail on 'em
And - there is so much more good than bad about the WC. After all - you guys do have the perfect weather ( San Diego and L.A. ) the biggest trees up northern Cali. ( Redwoods and Sequias) And - one of very very places in the world that you can go from the city in the valley - to the mountains and an incredibly clear lake. Fantastic fishing, and great surf.
Wine country. and San Fran is still one of the most beautiful cities in the world. And SO much more to see and do in Cali than most of us in the central and eastern part of the US even know about.
Besides that ....the Capt is a surfer - and he is STILL P.O.'ed that CAli. is home to the Beach Boys, and not Galveston
