    Met an older woman from California before Eddie Vedder in Dusseldorf sitting with a German fellow, she had moved from California to Germany for. They had met on the internet through their common love for Neil Young.

    She had seen Neil Young just pop up and and play in her local bar several times in the 60s.
    She had been a nurse and agreed that the US health care system was vile compared to the German.

    Cute couple. And she had a very cool Californian vibe.

    California has some of the highest taxes and you don’t see the benefits from them.  I have no idea where the money goes.  They just raised the gas tax last month.  Meanwhile LA and SF are becoming inhabitable unless you make 300 a year.  But yet they are more concerned with I don’t even know what.  Scientists have already concluded that the Black Plague is probably already in LA do to how nasty the city is.  For the record, I live in Texas and work in California.  I travel back and fourth and have the luxury of paying California taxes.
    You can change your state tax to Texas at the end of the year.  Get a good tax guy and they can reverse that.  Unless a law is new that I am unaware of?
    California changes its tax code.  If you work in the state, you owe state tax on that income.  I do believe it had something to do with the trump era tax revision.

    Ahhh that would make sense as I have not worked out of state since Trump was elected so I wasn't sure.  Now I know.

    That stinks.

    Yersinia Pestis is common all throughout the Western States and always has been.
    It has nothing to do with being "nasty" and everything to do with rodent populations (prairie dogs being the worst) west of the 100th meridian being reservoirs for the disease.

    The Plague has been found in the Sierras for decades.  It's not common, but it's there.  Visitors should be aware of this.  Anyone hiking in the Sierras who comes across a dead rodent (usually squirrel, or chipmunk) would do well to move quickly away from it.

    When the winds picked up in the winter months is usually when we would get sick.  Rumor was that it was from the rodents.  Hell I don't know if that is true or not but sounds logical.

    I’ve heard reports on this and they blamed the miles upon miles of turned soil that’s been sprayed and coated with fertilizers and insecticides during the fallow period before they irrigate and the Santa Ana winds blowing that toxic dust around. But what do I know?

    Could be- hantavirus is something that people can get from rodent feces urine or saliva.  Winds could spread that.

    Given that this is “ALL things California”, here is a story about a bear that fell off a cliff onto a police car, thereby causing a crash that led to a small brush fire.
