California Dreamin'

Okay, so there are some things I noticed while traveling out west. These are just some of the random thoughts that went through my head:


Things that are large-sunglasses. Women wear gigantic sunglasses-huge!


Things that are small- dogs. They are everywhere. It is like there is a size limit on the pooches.


What to wear to a golf tournament-just about anything goes. What amazed me most was women in dresses and heels, wandering out along the cart path to the 13th hole-hilly, steep terrain. How do they do that? I walked all day in running shoes and my feet and legs were killing me. I bet they practice..alot.



Everything is dry..and dusty...lots of dust. No wonder when a fire starts it spreads so quickly.



Nobody works..or so it seems. They surf by day and party by night.Maybe surfing is their job!

Everyone appears to love life and be in great physical shape. Could be all the jogging, biking, surfing and yoga. Could be that nobody works.

Gas prices are through the roof already. Way over 4 bucks a gallon.

I still love how you can buy a fifth of scotch at the CVS. Guess they know what cures you!

June gloom only exists inside the 5 mile stretch between I5 and the ocean. They make a hufe deal of it on the news every day. They do not know what June gloom is. At least you can drive a short distance to where it is sunny. Here in the Northeast you muyst wait for months for November through June gloom to pass. They do not know what June gloom is.

Thrift shops and second hand stores are big. Probably because nobody works....

Manicures and pedicures are cheap. You can get a mani and a pedi at the smae time! While watching a soap opera!

Mexican food is huge. I hope you like burritos, tacos, enchiladas and nachos. And you need a margarita to wash it all down.

Blonde is the preferred hair color of choice..although if you are Mexican or Native American, that certainly won't work for you.

So there you have it, some random California observations. I wonder what Californians think of us?
