we just returned from three weeks in the UK seeing Castles, Cathedrals, Abbeys and ruins. Everyone we met was pleasant and kind. When asked where we were from, we replied “California”, and their response was always a look of relief and… “Cool!”.
Like you, I would never willingly leave California. For all its much-over-blown faults, it’s still the best place to live, and for me, the best chance we have to make some social progress and try to bridge the widening chasm between disparate political and cultural groups, and learn to get along.
Good Work, Ted. Stay with it.
