There are so many reasons to love California. Here's just a few:

Surfers
San Diego
Hollywood
San Francisco
The Redwood Forest
Napa Valley/Russian River Wine
Snow Skiing and Swimming in the ocean on the same day
Legalizing Marijuana for Medical use (even though the USSC struck it down)
Stem Cell Research
The Price Is Right (Bob Barker)
Did I say Surfers?
And now here is the latest http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11048609/

Thank God for California. If it weren't for them (and NY too) this country would be a big piece of Red Middle America shit.

Oh yeah, TGIF.
