I too was surprised that fully 3/4ths of California counted as "Northern." But I'm a yankee, so I didn't feel qualified to interject.

Point Conception is THE geographical/meteorological hinge of California.

Some morons in the Valley and in the little hick settlements like Lompoc don't accept who they really are, but that is not my fault.

They make some good wine in Lompoc. That's all I know.

I can't rule that out. I didn't attend any weddings.

It's only Yankees is the farthest northern reaches that do that. And as we know, if you go far enough north, you start going south.

Yeah, but that was like the origin story. Somebody needs to show what they have become.

It's terrible. I don't like that kind of style at all.

Tom Wolfe tried to do that.

Not very convincing.

I think the only person in the world who loves Wolfe more than me is Mrs. Wolfe.

But I agree. Kenny is not really an examplar of the breed.

Is white suit an acceptable business attire?
