wish I had time to do the autox with you chris, that wouldve been a blast.

I can't get over the weather here though, it's so nice. I don't think it got over 80 today.

I love the Mountains.....snowboardin' fool I am !

I love Cali....But I can't stand the Smog/Pollution and the Traffic ! I couldn't even imagine living back there unless I was rich and didn't have to work...even then I would live somewhere else.

All my family is still there so I love to go back and visit...but I always come back saying...I'm glad I don't live there anymore.

I don't know if I could ever live in CA. Hmm the irony. Anyways, it makes sense so let me explain. It is a great place to be as long as you are where you are. If you want to go anywhere else, enjoy hours of traffic! Every time I drive on I-5 I want to kill many others and then myself. I don't know why they have an interstate with only 2 lanes each way that is the only north-south one in the state. Everything is expensive too which kinda sucks. We get spoiled with our cheap house prices here. If I live out there I'd want to be in a place that has most of what I want so I'd never have to travel. Seems like a place on the beach would be good, and also hopefully near to Big Bear for snow.

The scary part is that I've gotten lucky with traffic. Only once have I ever spent much time stopped in LA, and it was because a dumb CHP decided he would sit there and wave his arm so we would drive around the foam padding in the road, rather than just move it himself! I almost pulled over and just dragged it off the road myself, but I had to get to Phoenix to watch the Mavs final home game against Miami.

Random vid, but I'd love to live somewhere like this. I love having space to myself but still being able to see everything.

It's way too hot to be working! I spent 5 hours on this, and I honestly almost threw up from the heat.

Come up to Chicago and do my Z. The weather is usually in the 80s at most with lows as low as 50s on cool days.

everybody up here is freaking out about the "heat wave" that is coming through here this week lol. supposed to be like 95 for a few days and they are saying that the weather man said that the heat index is gonna be 105 which i seriously doubt lol. i think it sounds weird but im sure they think we are weird when we complain about our "cold" weather lol

If I had a reason to come up there, I definitely would. I have a good friend that goes to Northwestern, but he starts school when I do so it's not like I could come visit him.

Clearly you just need to come back here.

That'd be nice. It's too hot in TX right now, though. Chicago summer FTW.
