Good late morning everyone.

Like music ?
* This is worth a 2 minute look and listen.

Thanks for the link. Very touching what these kids are doing.
TZCA:
That was very touching. Those children play beautifully. Thank you for that video.
How was your eye examination yesterday?
Oh, thank you, Big Ben, for that link. I didn’t realize it came from you. I must have missed that post where you sent the link.
I love all these musical posts. I love the ones that 1966 and Apple send out also. You all have good taste.
Hiya BevAG
Eye exam went good (20/15 left eye, 20/20 to 20/25 right eye, 20/10 to 20/15 both eyes).
Exam = 3 minutes.
Discussing our dismay of Nov 6th = 12 minutes.
How are things for you?
Things are going well. I live in California as well, but I’m moving to either Eastern Texas, Piney Woods, or Eastern Tennessee outside Knoxville in 2013. I’m looking at houses now in those areas.
I made the decision to move out of CA after this past election. In CA they’ve now voted in a two percent sales tax hike at the cash register, so our sales tax is going to be 9.75 percent. LA’s is 10.25.
With the Democrats holding the Governorship, the Congress and the Senate in CA, they’re already talking about getting rid of Proposition 13. Our property taxes are going to be as obscene as New Jersey’s. We need to pay for all the illegal immigrants and all the entitlement programs that California has instituted over the past few decades.
As much as I love CA, I’m getting out. I’ve lived here 35 years. I want the 47 percent in CA who don’t pay taxes who voted for all these tax increases (to the middle class) to now figure out how they’re going to pay for their own entitlements. I’m going to watch from afar as CA implodes. And Obama is using CA as the model. lol Can you imagine!!
Texas doesn’t have a State tax. I love that. Tenn does. I love the idea that Texas wanted to secede after the last election. I don’t want to secede at all. I love America. But I just love being around people who understand that this past election ruined this country.
You must be Orange County.
I love Orange County. I’m more north.
Paraguayan oldie – Mi Noches sin Ti (My Nights without You). No harps in this version.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qY1D9jWzJc
I love the Spanish language…..and Spanish music. It’s just so romantic.
This Mis Noches Sin Ti is beautiful. Thank you, Apple.
@BevAG
Yup, I’m south orange county.
I hear ya about the lunacy of CA. I was born and raised in Washington State, and I was also making plans to move out of CA, but I’m gonna hold out for awhile, mostly out of convenience. Where I live, we are mostly off the grid and with the way things are going, I like having that sense of stability. I also have some major financial/income tax issues that popped up this year that I need to resolve and I don’t want to complicate things by relocating right now. However, my line of work would allow me to relocate relatively easily, though, and I am considering part time contracting work while maintaining my belongings where I live now. I’ve got my resume out there with a few nibbles, applied for a few jobs (awaiting counter-offer on one of them). I’m just trying to keep the board in the tube right now.
I know of ALOT of people who are relocating. I’ve got friends from Columbia and they decided to move back. They have invited me to move in with them in Bogota for awhile and given me information about expatriation to Columbia. I’ve considered this as well. I also love the America I grew up in. But things are changing so rapidly, and not for the better IMHO. So, I may ultimately throw up my hands and say, “you can take my $50K+/yr in taxes and shove it [fill in with explicatives of your choice]….”
I so enjoy watching these union members destroying other peoples’ private property. I think it is very symbolic. What these men didn’t understand was with each cut and tear on the tent, they were tearing down the Unions. U.S. people support protesters until they become violent. Many people look at the Unions as being the big bully on the block and these action support that view.
On a happy note. Bush (43) is going to be a grandfather. What outstanding news for his family.

The IRS and the Census Bureau is no longer keeping statistics on people who move from state to state. The Obama Administration doesn’t want it to be known how many people are moving out of the Democrat tax laden, entitlement ridden states so the country can watch how it all falls.
Can you imagine the IRS and the Census Bureau not keeping stats on that? lol Well, I’m sure they’re keeping stats on that, but I bet the Obama Administration told them not to give those stats to the public anymore so that the public can see how the Democrat tax-the-rich plan is such a losing proposition for everyone, mostly the middle class.
Well, it sounds like you have lots of options. I have set up my financial situation so that I can make the move. I still have a few little loose ends that will take about six months to clear up and then I’m going to the land of Republicans were people believe in working and taking care of themselves and their families and not looking for government handouts. It will be a breath of fresh air actually.
South Orange County? Beautiful.
The beach area?
lol 1966 @ The Beatles – Taxman.
Thanks man. By they way “good morning everyboy.”
@BevAG,
You asked: The beach area?
Sort of. I live far enough out off the Ortega Hwy (Hwy-74) that we don’t have trash or postal service. So my postal service is in San Juan Capistrano.
OK everyone if you believe in God please pray for the Syrian people and if you don’t please send them good thoughts. I just saw a tape of bombing in Syrian. There was a little girl running away in terror. How sad to see her face as she turned to look at her parents for help. She was wearing a sponge Bob jacket and that makes you realize that she should be safely watching cartoons.
Ratboy’s girlfriend is back.
@cathy
When I was in the 10th grade, the summer following, I was offered a trip to an international youth camp in Virginia (called Legacy International). I got to meet a Lebanese girl who had stories of hiding behind the sofa as bombs dropped outside her front window in Beirut, the glass shattering. She had scars to show for it. The turmoil that faces the people of the middle east for what seems to be never-ending is saddening.

San Juan Capistrano where the swallows some every March 19th. What a beautiful town. I went to the Mission there to visit when I first came to California.
Cathy, my heart bleeds for those people in Syria. It’s unimaginable how brutal those people can be. And that little girl, I just want to take up in my arms and just bring her home and take care of her. I just can’t imagine doing that to your own people. What savages.
Fox “news” numbers are going down because their audience is literally dying. Also I think many of the “younger” viewers are just sad and disappointed that they were told their guy was going to win.I expect their numbers to go up once we get closer to the 2014 midterm elections and they begin to fire up their base about how “Republicans are going to take the senate” just wait and see.
@BevAG,
I’m sure you’re doing your research, but Texas may not be a Red state for much longer. Texas is going to be like California, where most of the land mass will be Red, but the population centers will be Blue, putting the state in the bag for the Democratic party. I read that if history is any indicator of changing demographics, it will be Blue by 2020, but possibly as soon as 2016.
Also, in regards to Texan secession, Texas has had a small population of secessionists ever since its adoption into the Union. It is interesting to note that this population has grown in both numbers and percentage of total population since 2006.
