On the morning of July 4, 2003, I ran out of coffee. I got into my car, drove to the nearest Peet's Coffee Shop, and got a cup of Cappucino. On my way home it occurred to me that not everyone might consider this natural behavior, so I started thinking about what else may be different about California. Here is my first take:
You know you are living in California if
- your workout consists of Yoga and running
- you think long pleated pants go naturally with sandals
- you think STOP signs in your driveway are alright
- you talk a lot about "giving back to the community"
There are various versions about how "giving back to the community" is extended with a but clause. You talk a lot about "giving back to the community" but
- you have all your money stashed away in an off-shore tax haven (Republican version)
- on Christmas eve, you get into a fight over a slot at a prestigious charity (Democrats version)
More to come, stay tuned!
