I've never really had any desire to visit California. In the movie
Braveheart, King William I of England, speaking of Scotland, says, "The problem with Scotland is that it's full of Scots." So too with California; it's full of Californians. Maybe some of the rural Californians are reasonable people, but they are vastly outnumbered by the Californians dwelling in the huge cities, who exercise a disproportionate influence on the state government, thus its current bankrupt condition.
Maybe, though,
a brief visit is in order.San Diego is a Navy town, and the opportunity to see a full-size replica of HMS
Surprise is something I'd relish, being a big fan of Patrick O'Brien's Aubrey/Maturin novels.

Very cool,
Did you see where Russell Crowe was shilling his fans to e-mail 20th Century Fox's C.E.O. to make a sequel to Master and Commander? I don't know that it will happen, M and C. didn't make enough box office to make it worth their while.
If you make it to San Francisco, my cousin would probably take you shooting with his M1A.
Not everyone is a loonie there.
