Add another life-long Calolfornian to the exodus list. Just received an offer that basically matches my California salary out in Nashville.

 

Exciting, and yet incredibly terrifying.

Tenn is awesome. I prefer East Tenn but Nashville still has a lot to offer.  Southern people are by far the most friendly people in the country. I imagine Nashville will have big city assholes but everyone else is way friendlier than California.

Damn, I need gas soon, but that seems a little high.

At least they have offset the gas prices in CA over the past year by closing things... or making them a pain.  They are saving us money because there's less places to go..  but they are also hindering businesses.  Wonder how gas stations are doing.

The mandatory meal with the purchase of an alcoholic beverage thing is still annoying.  Hopefully, it goes away in a couple months?

You wouldn't rather live in CA?

I'm not a California apologist. There have been many days in the last year that I've been gone.... mentally, anyway... I've  lived in CA my entire life. Not in the most revered area, but not far from those places. I can easily cruise to the beach and the mountains. Angels games. Kings games.  San Diego.  Amazing beer isn't far away. Family is around... especially my parents

But... the cost of living out here is increasing as much as anywhere else in the country (traffic is not great either... Amazon and others are clogging the roads)... and I'm not any closer to the beach... the better weather... the cool things to do.

The political stuff... other than in a rare pandemic... doesn't affect much for most. It's frustrating. I want to support my local beer bar, but I don't want to buy a hot dog every time I visit. That's not why I'm considering leaving. Neither are gas prices.  That stuff doesn't help though

They are nailing you in the rear and skipping the reach around

I've chosen to live here. I'm considering leaving. 

Where do you live?

Missouri and I was just complaining about $2.65 gas prices

[Kotchman]

My only complaint about Nashville is the high number of rap station on fm radio. 

[ScottT]

In the last year.... I've spent more on the meal requirement with alcohol.... than I have on the difference in gas prices.   

Gas price smack is silly.

Yes but eventually energy prices will drive up bus fares.

It’s good to know that the good folks who clean toilets aren’t getting short changed in Tennessee.  Do they know you’re an imbecile?

I mean, they hired me so what does that make them?

Bittersweet?  All you do is talk shit about here.  You’re so stupid you believe in nonsensical conspiracy theories that make the Easter Bunny look plausible.

Go.

Enjoy having neighbors dumber than you.  

And you could have afforded  a home in California if you had a grown up job.  Have fun being the only one on the block with all their teeth.  You’ve really made it.  Congrats.

 

Ha, well leaving the place you've lived your whole life will always be bittersweet. Even if it is hell.

 

And I just had a wisdom tooth removed yesterday, so not quite all my teeth. Close enough.

Cals is just bitter because his business card says, se habla espanol

He is much darker and would have the Confederate flag. I walked through the house with my realtor and saw he left three large flags on display

A white power Mexican?  Those are really rare.  We only have like 2-3 here, so I imagine that rate Is consistent in the general public, too.

Yes politics prob cost him a chance to play this year in college. turned out the keeper coach was a big San Fran lib so an obvious mismatch.

Wait, does this mean you were in Cali walking through your son’s house?

No, he is in Cali forcollege but I didn't check his room before showing my house.

Casey Kotchman hit 71 major league home runs.  I would have thought that total was lower.

Neither but coach is active on social media and his wife pretty much makes a living consulting bif liberal non profits from home. Coach told him "we know you win most everything in practice and the hardest worker on the team but your style of play doesn't fit here." The style of play got him 5 or 6 offers to play u20 ball in Mexico. Meanwhile, they played a local dreamer who sucks, has shitty grades, can't speak Spanish, but he bashes Trump every day at practice.

So how would he know your son's political opinions?
