Mood: Checking-off my bucket list.

Mexitron (and others) Ok, you're right, but I still think it is like saying that Charles Manson has pretty eyes. It doesn't quite make up for the rest of the picture. Remember that my comparison is with where I live. Population density= 6/sq. mi. Twenty-five pristine high mountain lakes within 20 miles, and when you get there, there MAY be a couple of other people there. You can't SEE the air, ever,ever, period.
There are a lot of places I'll confidently drink the surface water if I need to. I'm just spoiled rotten. I wonder if the residents of Bakersdiego understand the amount of effort a lot of people will expend to get to Baja without subjecting themselves to that sprawling megalopolis.

Knowing that Bakersdiego doesn't have its own water, though, and how far away it is from here, I still flush twice just to help out.:lol:

I was just observing waves in Bandon yesterday that probably exceeded the ones in Mexitrons picture. Sorry I didn't have my camera along. Nary a surfer twit to be seen out in that stuff.

Port Awful, just to the south of Bandon had waves breaking over the dock. Not many sport fisherman out on the ocean lately.

The Oregon Coast is 'the banana belt' compared to Port of Fargo.

You clearly have never been to Buck Owen's Crystal Palace in Bakersfield on a Thursday evening. It's downright scary in there:dudette:
