I had occasion a few times this week to be talking with some
people in Long Beach, CA.  The phone connection was pretty bad.
There were random *loud* clicks.  The kind that hurt your ears.
I wasn't sure if it was my phone or theirs, so when the problem
continued the next day I asked them if their phone system was
working properly.

"Oh yes!" they said.  "Our phones are okay, it's just the wind
blowing the wires together on the telephone poles."

It must *really* be bad out there.  I always thought California
was some sort of "paradise".  But look at what's been happenning
over the past few years:
   Killer winds
   Mud slides
   Volcanoes (well, all right, that's not CA, but from back here
	it's close enough)
   Fires all over the place
   Earthquakes

I figured I had better send this now, just in case the *big one*
comes and California slides into the Pacific.

Okay, Californians, now's your chance.  Flame away and tell us
why California is so great and how <wherever else> doesn't make
the grade.
