And now I have lost California, lost Nadine (the 1964 Pontiac Grand Prix - we donated it to our church), and lost my Vox Phantom VI guitar (to a swap meet in Detroit). But I kept the best: Cindy. Oh, yeah, and I still have that skinny black tie.
I am reminded of these lyrics from the America song, California Revisited:
Heaven may be an answerI cannot find America singing this song on YouTube, but this guy does a very decent cover ...
If you're lookin' for Eden in the sky
On your waters I see a strange reflection
Rumor has it I'll see you when I die
Everyone I meet is from California
There's dancin' in the streets in California

How many years ago was it that you lived in California? I ask because there have been rapid socio-economic / demographic changes. It may not be the same place you remember.
We left California in the spring of 1991.
You may well be right. We were talking to an Anglican friend from SoCal recently, and he said that some Conservatives were considering moving out of California, due to the political environment there.
Anyhow, I like the idealized California that I have stored away in my head!
