The saddest thing for me was watching the state formerly known as California get turned into what it is now. When I was a child, much of what is written here applied in most of the state, including the Bay Area and LA burbs and hinterlands. I can clearly remember guns on the gun racks in pick up trucks as recently as the 1980s in many areas within a 50 mile radius of downtown SF. Now it would be unusual to even see a gun rack, including ones with fishing rods in them instead of rifles and shotguns! Cattle grazed a short walk from my childhood home and we used to get in apricot fights as a spring ritual. My, how times have changed and for the worse! The thing that adds insult to injury is that most of the quaternary urbanites who now dominate the state are from the very Eastern liberal hell holes that we used to make fun of (I say used to because doing so now is considered "hate speech" with dire consequences here in the PC police state.)

I sympathise with your plight. Oregon used to be a lot like your "old-kali", but once the eco-nazi-elite left kali in shambles they came up here to perpetuate the disease.
