REMINISCENCES OF CALIFORNIA, from Howard Nemerov at the PJ Tatler, who decamped to Texas a few years ago: “People in CA chided me about moving to redneck-land. I decided to be polite to most of them and hold my silence. But if you want to live with angry, intolerant, narrow-minded, mean-spirited people who act aggressive if you don’t agree with their views, move to California.
