But at it's best (like right now, with postcard weather, clear skies, and very low humidity), it's a nice place to be. Like anywhere else, you have to know where to go, what to do, and when to do it -- and certain places (like Santa Ana) really should be "avoided like the plague." <br /><br />Good call, Jeri.<br /><br />But different strokes work for different folks -- we like what we like -- and in the end, we make the best with what we've got. I'm glad you're happy in NY, Nathan, and if I manage to survive the smog, traffic, cops, earthquakes, busted budget, Republican governors, and random gunfire all the way to retirement, I too will put LA in my rear view mirror without looking back.<br /><br />For all it's faults (pun intended), LA has been pretty good to me over the years. Yes, there are legions of plastic people out here, but every part of our country has its share of clueless morons, and I doubt the percentage is any higher in LA than anywhere else. <br /><br />Still, if I'd been treated as rudely as you were, I might have left a long time ago. <br /><br />Happy 4th to you all.Michael Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02569781786039595929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-745748859173296736.post-36187627294828408922009-07-02T21:14:35.182-04:002009-07-02T21:14:35.182-04:00Pamela,
