Just poking a stick at the good folks from the west.








Do you know what happened 159 years ago this fall....back in 1850?






   California became a state.
  The people had no electricity.
  The state had no money.
  Almost everyone spoke Spanish.
  There were gunfights in the streets.

So basically nothing has changed  except the women had real t^ts and the men didn't hold hands.

True unfortunately ...

Californication, the land of fruits and nuts.....

I Sim Fly California every day...The Land of Fairies...

The scenery is fantastic from 2,000 Feet AGL.

...I am just very careful where I land!..

California:
Its a funny old do, but my interest in the State of California occurred well over 10 years ago, starting with the Flight Simulator; "Flight Unlimited II".
I have spent the intervening years in the varous MS Flight Sims, exploring the whole State, practically every day, and been fascinated by its History, Geography,and Geology, from the "Goldrush Times", and earlier Spanish times, with the aid of Wikipedia, Google Maps, etc, noting places of interest, and occurrences of interest, often appearing in the News...

Various California News Broadcasters and Newspapers regularly E-Mail me with daily breaking news for me to load up my Simulator and explore the event!

Its the main thing that I find the Flight Simulator excels in!

The MS Flight Simulator's representation of California is remarkably accurate, (probably because the programmers work in Silicon Valley!)

Many Hollywood, etc, films were made in and around the State, and as I watch the films I am acutely aware of the locations, and very familiar with all the scenery presented in front of me!
