If I weren't a semi-disabled old man with a family in Chicago that still needs me here, I'd be there in a heartbeat. Keep the cactus plants warm for me, however. You never know in life! Best wishes, Gershon

Ah, excellent point, Panagiota!! I'll put them right next to the "Bum-o-crats," the class of people who will be created when the $1,000 handouts arrive. LOL. Thanks for the view and the viewpoint! :) gw

I am moving back to Chicago then! Get a pup tent out for me on Wacker Drive. California's gone of its rocker. SF is the feces Capitol of the world. Actually, the entire world is quite nuts Panagiota

Ha, ha! Move back here and you'll have gone from the frying pan to the fire! We're on the verge of being subjected to Lori Lightfoot, a black female lesbian leftist -- all the boxes checked! -- taking over as mayor. She will tax anything that breathes, kill the charter school movement and serve as a puppet of the teacher's union, make gays and progressives feel welcome and everyone else uneasy, and otherwise ruin a once-proud city. I'd suggest signing up for space travel if you're looking for sanity! LOL. :) gw

These are loyal Democrat voters. You have to keep pandering to them. If they get a job and rise out of poverty, they might vote Republican. Can't have that. Have a great day my friend.

Hey, David! I think that the 'Dumocrats' are trying to create a new class of voters, to be called the 'Bumocrats!' LOL. Thanks for the view and the viewpoint, my friend. ~ gw
