Hey, sorry dude. Didn't know you were *that* sensitive. The only cities I
know of north of the general Bay Area Zone are Eureka, Ukiah and Crescent
City.

Er, recheck your map Jeff. Right smack in the middle of California are a
bunch of farms up there in Kern County and the like. The Bay Area is about
2/3 of the way up or so. Not as far north as some would believe, but it's
about a 7-8 hour drive from LA to SF. And only about 5-6 from SF to
Oregon. Factor in the 2 hours from Mexico to LA...

Oh no, please, laugh all you want. The CalFree Sourcebook was a total joke
and pissed me off royally. Turned my entire damn state into a friggin'
hellhole. If I ever meet the folks that wrote that book I may very well
have to pop them one across the jaw. I mean, they even forgot about
incredibly important things to California! Wine, suburbs, Catalina Island,
the BEACH!!. All of which are important parts of the California psyche and
economy, but not a damn mention of them, not even once.
Okay, sorry for the rant. Sore subject. But I will pop the fuckwits that
wrote that book if I ever meet them.
