My fellow CA LE members -
I'm (hopefully) less than 30 working days shy of retiring after 30.5 years with the Big-City, West-Coast.
Our home is on the market, we've picked our next one....in another state.
In some ways, I'm scared to death to leave everything I am, and everything I know.
On the other hand, I can't wait to get outta' Dodge! At age 51, I have a nine year-old daughter and three year-old boy/girl twins to raise.
I want to leave CA because -
I'm tired of the majority of my work contacts beginning with the other person asking, "You peeky Panny?"
I'm tired of having my house's windows...and its foundation, for that matter, rattled by $500 cars blasting their $5000 stereo systems.
I'm tired of seeing Oakland Raider fan vehicles with their family-friendly/viewer-friendly stickers that read F--- the Rest!
I'm tired of an (R) Governor who acts and talks more like a (D).
I'm tired of sitting in rush hour traffic, when rush hour was over, hours ago.
I'm tired of people in oversized clothing, walking and talking tough for no good reason.
I'm tired of graffiti, and the people who call it an art form.
I'm tired of educators and religeous leaders who only get listened to by their students and parishoners when they're leading the walkout, the demonstration, or the boycott.
I'm tired of guys of shaved heads and excessive tattoos and playing their rap music with lyrics that say "F--- the Police!"....in the police locker room!
Have I missed anything else?
Please share your thoughts....
