California isn’t all that bad. I took this photo last weekend in Mendocino. 
That's the way it runs in Germany, having to upload a government ID and having to sign for packages containing tobacco I mean. I think a control mechanism is ok as long as availability and prices don't get influenced.
Shhh...The Southern Cal guys might be listening. It's still pretty nice up here.
Where be "up here"? Having lived in the Bay Area for some time I think of Eureka as "up there".
And all of CA is to be avoided.
So true. Its just awful- most especially avoid the Lost Coast up near the Oregon border. Those trumpeting Elk in the sunlit rolling golden fog for can wake a person up way too early. A most jarring experience.
Shhhhhh!
Yeah, and you can smoke your pipe for days without one word, one evil eye, out of anybody.
You can put your location in your Profile, which will save questions in the future as to where you live should you mention local stores, weather, tobacco prices, availability, regulations, location of photos of surroundings, and so forth.
I gathered up all the horse shit they want for the real drivers license and when I walked in ,laid it all down, the gal snatches up my old license and title and says I'm good. Did not even look at anything else. Great State of Ohio at work I guess...
Hmmmm. Mixed feelings, as I was turned down because of a technicality- had more ID than Carter had pills- by some woman in the DMV who seemed to enjoy the misery she inflicted.
At the same time if other states are just handing them out, it sucks for actual security.
Here's a shot of my NorCal commute to work. Traffic is never an issue but it can take hours to make the 10 mile drive when pipe smoking and sunset viewing are involved.
If at first you don't succeed...I ran afoul of the document Nazi my first time. Turned out the birth certificate I brought, hand typed on the same machine by the same recorder in the same hospital within a minute of typing another copy, wasn't a birth certificate even though it said Certificate Of Live Birth. Seems that hospitals would type out two copies, one to go to the Bureau of Records and the other to give to the parents. They were identical on one side, but on the copy for the parents there were some operating instructions for the care and feeding of their new tax deduction. The copy sent to City Hall was blank on the other side. The Document Nazi was adamant. Everything else being okay, I ordered a few copies of my birth certificate for future need, returned to the DMV, and was in and out in 35 minutes.
It does suck for security, but look at the silver lining. Since all of the bombers and terrorists will be flying out of Ohio the Feds can concentrate their anti-terrorism efforts there, like extra invasive scanning and hand searching of luggage, no TSA Pre option, cavity searches and waterboarding of all passengers, etc, etc. Just do what's necessary.
Traffic is a problem in the savage south. Abolishing automobiles would make a great improvement in everyone's quality of life. An estimated 30% of the human population lack the necessary neural connections required for performing complex tasks on the level of driving a car. I walk to work every day. Fill the tank once every 6 to 8 weeks. Tha's a significant amount of savings very month.
That’s awesome! Congratulations you’re doing it right.
Well, almost right...remember, gents- HE'S still living in the wretched sh!th0le of California. I mean just look at all the untidy sand.
That's only the beginning. The aftermath is way more gruesome. Here's what it looks like when I get home with 1,300 pounds of smelt in the bed of my truck.
