Lived a short time in La Mesa (SD) and Huntington Beach (LA), and have since then described CA to people this way. In his Zen and the Art…, Pirsig describes riding with his son one day, and noticing everyone had just gotten obnoxious. He couldn’t figure it out until he realized they’d crossed the border into CA. Then he said California is what happens when you tip North America up on end. Everything without roots slides out to southern California. I thought it perfect. Love,
