Southern mosquitoes are of the genteel kind. They sleep late, then hit the targets and get super active ad dusk then settle down for the most part which is why most people in Carolina do their business early in the AM before the heat and mosquitoes take over and go out later in the cool of the evening especially if it rains which it does in Orangeburg Country mor eoften than not.

Would you care to define "do their business" ?? :roll: :lol:

Lived in San Juan Capistrano for 7 years; no AC. Only needed for the occasional Santa Ana. Yes, we had the damn swallows. Left because of the "social climate;" didn't want to raise my kids there. Only thing I ever missed was Doheney Beach and the Swallow's Inn. Great watering hole.CDAGRIZ said:

Okay I will play along. What is it about "the social climate" of California that Egrizers' would hate? As a Canadian I don't know much about the state, other than it's got more people than my country does. One of my sisters lived in Oakland for about 20 years but I have to confess I only made it down for her graduation and wedding.

They do claim southern Cal has the most perfect weather. The only problem is, everyone knows it. TOO many people for me. Horrible traffic jams...the ocean for the most part is too cold to swim in without a wetsuit most of the time. Nice place to visit....

My older sister and brother in law live there (Redondo area). We were there for a Disneyland shot in Dec. '16 (the FINAL time, talk about a shitshow), and some family and beach time. After 10 days, we could not WAIT to get home to two feet of snow in the driveway (even though I'm increasingly tired of it). My sis and bro in law are ready to move to Boise for a host of reasons, only thing they'll miss is weather and of course the beach, a few select friends. They're kids are grown (sort of), and their poor dad can barely stand to be in the same room with one or two of them due to some of their "views" :lol: ...

Agree 100%. If I had to commute more than 10 miles, live inland, and/or go to Disneyland on a regular basis, I would be gone very quickly. I also avoid LA County at all costs. My particular personal situation on a day-to-day basis makes it tolerable. I was only talking about the weather itself. That part is very nice.

The Santa Ana winds and dry conditions have made it somewhat inhospitable in some areas...
I lived in Calif for over 50 years and can tell you that most SoCalifornians are from other states and nations and are people who basically rejected the old ways and can recreate their life anyway they want in any way as long as it doesn't bother anyone. I believe tolerance in Calif is a way of life that many people in other states don't want or simply are envious of the climate, the creativity, the coast, the mountains, the deserts and the beautiful places in the Redwoods, the far north (which resembles western Alberta) and the diversity of peoples here. I love it when I return for two months and miss it when I go back to S. Carolina. Politically, it is split down the middle geographically but the very young and liberal live along the coast and the extreme far right that thinks the world is going to end soon in violence live in the deserts and NE near Mormon country. All in all, Calif is a unique state. I guess I am biased as I came here with absolutely nothing and at age 55 sold my business and retired when I was still able to do the things I thought were important. Now, at 73, I don't regret it and I'm grateful to the Golden State for the opportunities it gives everyone willing to forget the negatives and achieve whatever you are capable of or want. In Calif. there was no one who said 'you can't do that".SaskGriz said:
