Maybe I should start sipping skim milk 2 oz latte's and listening to Obama Speaks tapes with ole SRW though.
"Venti non fat latte please."

Not exactly sure if the capital qualifies as a "big" city. I have lived here 9 years and now know why it's considered a cow town. When real estate bounces I am headed back to the mothership, San Francisco.

I also microwave yesterdays coffee, no matter how much my beautiful,darling, aristocratic wife whines. No Folgers here though. Whatever Target has on sale...

Say hi to Billy and Bod for me up yonder.

Yuck. Martinez is almost too close at times. My move to Texas can't come fast enough.

no kidding... you'd think umpires would be thicker skinned... heck all y'all just need to move to Louisiana... the sun shines 24 hours a day, the grass is greener, the food is the BEST. And we could always use more "good" umpires.

The only argument you pose that is hard to refute!

Will you make up your mind? You make a pitch for them to come to LA (and BTW it isn't the GREEN grass that is the draw) and then you disqualify some of them.

If sun shines 24 hours a day, why was the Sulphur all but cancelled?

And I do know some good La. umpires. Ya'll got Wayne.

Of course you need more umpires you have only had firstpitch softball since the early 90's. I went to LSU, I had been umpiring fastpitch in Socal since I was 15. My first year their no fastpitch, but I was told I should come back the following year. So I did, I was 20 and had four years more experience than people 2 and 3 times older.

Probably the same thing your neighbors have been saying!!!

I like a tasty coffee, but to be honest, most of the time I drink a candy bar.

Cannot wait for my "official" Cafe au lait @ du Monde.

Ouch...

Considering whom some of my neighbors are, I have an entirely different rant queued up if you are bored.

Contra Costa County neighbors?

I'm fairly sure that rant is a bannable offense.
