California is like an artificial limb the rest of the country doesn't really need. You can quote me on that.
California is a garden of Eden, a paradise to live in or see, but believe it or not, you won't find it so hot if you ain't got the do re mi.
California is a queer place in a way, it has turned its back on the world, and looks into the void Pacific.
California is a place of invention, a place of courage, a place of vision, a place of the future.
