It's done. California is dead. I see on social media the dumbest people I know are passionately attacking people who express disappointment in the failure to recall the Gov. The place is a cesspool. They've taken one of the most beautiful places in the world and turned it into a collectivist, feces-polluted mess. Now, finally, my wife is talking of leaving. We have our place in Nevada which I love. But, we're really looking at Arizona, Florida and the Carolinas. Any input appreciated. I even said I'd consider the place where my dad's side came from - Oklahoma. It's a quiet place with a simpler life, and centrally located for my consulting work.

I'm going to have to clean up some real estate and sell it and I plan to have that done by next summer. The only relative with my last name who will remain in California is the guy who smokes tons of weed and doesn't work. That's fitting...
