Excellent response yet again. I misunderstood, certainly the majority of California is similar having grown up there. 100% honest, Glen, as I ‘rarely’ do 😉, having grown up in LA, in the public school system, the workforce, etc. I never ever had anything negative to say about the people living around me—never. It wasn’t until engulfing ourselves in the culture that these opinions were brought to light. It’s sad really. The same people, the same language, the same culture and the same delicious food, in California, we’re best friends. In Central and South America, it couldn’t be more opposite.

About the price changes—you couldn’t be more accurate. That’s another thing that sucked! There wasn’t a market around, everywhere we toured that didn’t negotiate the price of a frikkin Coke Zero. We got out of there before we were too dehumanized but noticed the affects as soon as we landed in NYC. We were there for a week and questioned everyone’s wOrd believing we were being deceived. It even carried over to the UK for a short period of time but we were eventually able to reprogram ourselves.

Speaking of divide—that latest divide is front page news all the way over here! Number 45 is officially number 3. Strangest thing is, I guarantee there’s still women (men, too, but women specifically) who still support the guy. I’ll never understand that. 🤔

You must have some of the best home cooking ever. The people we’ve met, a few times they’ll invite us to “Mexican food” and I always respectfully decline like “nah, that’s not Mexican food. There’s two things in California that are undeniably the best in the world—weed and Mexican food!” The Mexican food in Calif EOS is even better than in Mexico. Great—now I miss LA! We know we’re far from technology’s peak, sir, because you can’t text message me chili verde quesadilla!
