We usually have great weather

We can race 12 months a year

Today is December 24th and there were number of gals in shorts or short skirts out Christmas shopping at out door malls such as Irvine Spectrum.

We have large reserves of rare earth minerals, produce oil, and gas.

We aren't any more liberal than New York.

Were not as good as Texas but we have a lot more things to do.
You forgot to mention the the big earthquakes. Mike is the MAN

Mike a lot of nice things being said about you and I'll second them. I know you weren't looking for a pat on the back but we just want to let you know what great friend and asset you are to the forum. Where ever you move when you leave California those folks will be lucky to have you as a neighbor. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

PLRX I hope everything has turned out ok with your home and those things that got wet. Many things can be replaced but some of those things I know must mean a awful lot to you so I hope they are ok. Merry Christmas to you

I can easily see Mike being a generous guy! He shares so much with all of us and we share too, in the trials and sometimes tough times. We celebrate Mike overcoming yet another ba// buster obstacle! He passed Smog! He's got the house drying out. I imagine our bud, Mike, will be negotiating a peace treaty somewhere soon! He's got that 'stick-to-it-ness', that's for sure!

PS: I've kept a bunch of the photo's you've taken! The rear suspension and U-joint repair were priceless and it is great to see it personal, versus the FSM. Thanks so much.
