Coast to Coast


I read a friend of mine's blog this morning that put a smile on my face and gave me a giggle. Keeping in the spirit of his words, I created a version of my own....

Fred's version:

SOUTH CAROLINA BABY!
Where the tea is sweet and accents are sweeter, summer starts in April, front porches are wide and words are long, macaroni & cheese is a vegetable, pecan pie is a breakfast food, y'all is a proper pronoun, chicken is fried, biscuits come with gravy, everyone is darling, sweetie, honey, or baby and someone is always getting their heart blessed!!...

My version:
Southern California Baby!

Where the cocktails are served at 11am without judgment, summer is 10 out of 12 months, the sun retreats over the gorgeous Pacific, even strangers offer a friendly hello, sushi and tacos are considered dietary staples, beaches are designated strictly for dogs swimming, natives know that Hollywood is really not glamorous, when it rains 1/8 of an inch people forget how to drive and it is the top story on the evening news, casual Friday is five days a week, one can drive from the beach to the mountains and through the desert and still be home in time for supper, suburbanites are addicted to yoga, Starbucks, and the nail salon, teenagers blast Wiz Khalifa on their car stereos, and at any given time you are less than 20 minutes away from a casino.
