As a preliminary matter, this entry will probably be of less-interest to most of our predominately Republican-voting readership.  And as a disclaimer, these are my views only, not necessarily Angela’s.

I’m voting in the Democratic primary next month because it’s the only California primary that allows participation by voters registered as independents.  So I’ve been doing a lot of studying of the Democratic candidates lately.  read more »

1. People Drive too fast. I find myself going alittle slower than the traffic around me only to notice I am going 10 over the speed limit. 2. California Drivers are better than Utah Drivers in two respects: they stop for pedestrians and they let you merge.

Everyone and I mean everyone goes to the mall on Saturday. 5. There really are no seasons.
