This is what I feel about California. A mythical place in my personal American psyche. Never really been there other than a conference in Monterey, so I can just make shit up about it from watching movies lol.

I'm absolute shit at geography, my wife has a map fetish and can remember every random human drawn boarder down to the inch.
So I pretty much feel the same way you do except it's about everything west of Denver. I haven't been there, therefore it doesn't really exist and I can make up anything I want about it until I verify otherwise by observing it and breaking the probability wave into classical reality.
/That last part is what makes my wife throw her arms up and give up.

Coincidence that the population of California & Canada (the entire country) are pretty much the same….?

It's been a tough couple of months at our house. First I had an emergency trip down to Texas to see my Mom before she passed away. Just made it. She died shortly after I got there, in her sleep at home like she wanted. I think she waited til I could get there. No regrets.
Next up our dog Moosie got Lymphoma. He was given 2 to 4 weeks but hung on for 6 months. Turns out cattle dogs have quite the will to live. He would have hung on until he was gasping for life, we had to make the call for him, so damn sad.
I got pneumonia shortly thereafter and have been battling that, Looks like I'm over that finally.
Sorry about the downer post, it feels kind of cathartic to put it down in words. No sympathy needed.
Let's start over with a pic from my front yard. A beautiful morning in the Old Pueblo.

Sorry to hear, that's a rough one. That picture has me really kicking myself for not getting moved out to Vegas this year. After 25 years surrounded by flat swamp land and water, and pretty much not even getting an out of state vacation until last December (only time I've been further west than Denver) the mountains and deserts were literally breath taking.

Sounds like a case of the flat land droops. Mountains are the cure.

Welcome back to the high life.
I don't think I've ever been in a bar or restaurant where I heard someone order a Miller. I wasn't sure it was still being produced. The champagne of beers is probably too fancy for me.

Given all the howling this week over the tropical depression, I had hoped Pfizer would release a Tropical Prozac. Two days of rain this weekend, might get a power blink; some really rich people might get a mildly wet back porch. The insurance companies will just jack rates on everyone to cover the repairs for the wealthy beach front property owners chairs.
Good luck buying any food in the entire state until Wednesday. <Sigh> Even the dispensaries are getting in on the fear marketing.
I wish it was just geographic blues but this place has decided to go from cute-weird to full dumb-dumb in the last 25 years.
Also, it's gunna rain; wife just took this in traffic. Yes, mountains and the desert are the cure; just not as easy to relo as it was 25 years ago either. We moved here on $800 and hope, can't replicate that. :-/
When I drank, a LONG time ago, Miller Genuine Draft was the only American beer I would order. Always caused a controversy in Busch bro country. Now I skip the brew and smoke the Bud.

I have a "real" beer every once in a while now, usually with pizza. I'm looking for the local chapter of Non-alcoholics Anonymous because I've been drinking so much NA beer. I thought I'd found one group but it was N/A, the Not Applicable people. When I walked in I said I was in the wrong place. They said in that case I was in the right place.Given all the howling this week over the tropical depression, I had hoped Pfizer would release a Tropical Prozac.

Funny how we all see/understand different things. All of these numbers and stuff....um...my guess is 25 or 6 to 4. That's about when "Math" started kicking my ass in school. I had a female tutor in 9th grade Algebra. Barely knew her. Pissed her off because I still flunked the class. However, now she's my wife. Further education....yup.
I'm the opposite geographically. I've traveled the West extensively...but East of the Mississippi...it's stopovers and a few trips down yer way. All of those big cities are just another city here. Nope. Not gonna bother @ this point in time. That shit makes me nervous AF
We drank >anything< in college...but I'd always pass on the Miller. It just has a weird ass taste to me. Now I just pass altogether. I used to say "to the left" but since COVID...yer on yer own to finish that fatty yerself. I'll do the same

Yup. Since Covid the glass doesn't come out anymore, guests all get a factory made, no saliva cone and their own ash-tray. Haven't passed a bowl or joint since Feb 2020.
Even in college I was a snobby drinker, expensive shiat kept me from becoming a Nat Light drunk like my classmates.

I feel an amazing spiritual connection with California.the sunshine here emits the most powerful positive vibe, it feels so good. The blue sky is so bright it captures my soul. There are so many incredible songs about California for a good reason.
