Holy crap. Well here I am with my sister in Sunny San Joaquin County, California region.
I wanna know when California succeeded from the union? This place is scary. I don't need to ask why there are so many liberals out here. These people wouldn't know "free" if it bit thm in the ass - with carnivore teeth. Big ones. Big F***ing carnivore fangs.
EVERYTHING is regulated. I was looking for open land to tool around with with Ricky, my sister's old dog. He's pretty ill and I'm getting him well. So far so good. I;ve been able to get him to a reservoir - but EVERY bit of property for 50 miles around was fenced as "preserved area". The "park" was ridiculously miniscule yet I was charged to be there - and the only way to most open land is by boat, which by the way gives them a much sweeter fee to collect. I asked a few people where there was open public land and they gave me the RCA dog head tilt. Holy cow.
I finally ran into a couple on a motorcycle at a lookout which sat with a couple of hundred of feet of ground fenced off so you could get out of your car and look over the scenery that you are not allowed to touch. They told me that a mere 70 miles away or so I will actually find dirt roads and lakes "n' stuff".
I found one other place - lake, 8 miles of trails...um, paved. That isn't a lie - their "nature" trails are freaking paved. Someone in past eons when gov started getting that regulation passion that they seem to have fallen weak to, someone should have started hanging those jackasses. I have even been in park area - and there have been "no smoking" rules - on a very low fire hazard day, no smoking outside.
Prices? Up the ying. I just paid 10 bucks for 3.5 pounds of pork. Cheese is a joke.......and there are petitioners out to make them keep their paws off another vehicle registration hike - it's already in the hundreds. It's impossible to get away. If it's private they crap themselves if you even look at the property the wrong way and if it's public it's roped off.
Now I can understand that because the last time I was down here the whole state looked like a landfill, but they are taking regulation and taxes to the point of exhaustion here - and that is before Barry's new ones hit us.
Weather? Sunny California has been rainy and cold more days that not. The air is dirty, you can smell it even when you can't see it.
Um.....I sure am glad I wasn't planning to stay here long. I feel like I"m in some damned cage in a zoo or something. My sister's place is laid back and pleasant, but don't venture beyond the privacy fence unless you plan on having time to travel about 60 miles or more East.
Holy cow. I didn't know we had a communist country so closeby. At least I will be able to leave under my own volition when I want to -- as long as I don't take something not allowed through the checkpoint at the border.
