Too bad his life has turned out so poorly due to greed.

 :salute  for his Navy service. 

Otherwise, a disappointment.

If you're gonna do something, do it right!  Only problem was he chose to do it in Orange County and not Cook County.  :D

*cough* *pulls down the hidden rolldown California State map* *clears his throat*



While (as Ack-ack pointed out) San Diego is considred it's own country down here since it's the only conservative county this far south in the state, you can see it's location in relation to Orange County.  People not familiar to the area commonly forget the massive expanse of land the Marines ( :salute ) claim as their own between Orange County and Sand Diego.

And for anyone really interested in stareing at that map while at work and on the clock, when I'm not working to afford living here in Los Angeles County, I'm hiding up in Trinity County.

Thx for the clarification. I'm just waiting for the eastern shore to open up. ;)

lol, how old are you and when was the last time you were there?  Before they built the dams?


And I don't have to worry about provided electricity up there though, solar power ftw... an internet connection that isn't slower than dirt though is another story.
