Hey Stuck!, I live about nine hours north of you,in the little town of Winters
Its a far cry from San Diego, We have only one traffic signal in town,It has a nice small town feel to it still.
My Grandparents used to live near San Diego (Vista) We used to visit them as kids and go across the border to Tijuana and load up on firecrackers, m-80s,m-100s,M-500s!,(you ever go down and check out the donkey shows?)you know all that contriban that kids love!We would fish in the ocean off that big long pier in Oceanside.As kids it was a pretty exciting time!
I think I'd have a tough time there now, I would probably kill someone in a fit of roadrage!
Take care,--(HunterHarry)
