Running into a few California bashers [View all]

We're on a 5 month trip throughout the west.
AZ, UT, CO, ID, OR, and back home to CA.

I've gotten a few RW swipes aimed at my beautiful state.
I found a way to answer.

I tell them it's terrible in California. That they should encourage their friends and family to stay away or move if they live here.

That stops the bashing in its tracks.
