We flew over four times in the past few days. First time we could acutally see the fires from 41000ft. When we left on Sunday the smoke was up to about 30000ft and all the updrafts and particulate was creating its own thunderstorm.

Taken with camera phone so not sure how well this shows it but it was taken from almost down by San Deigo at 39000ft.

No it's something closer to "What, there's a second half of the state? Since When?"

Most people up here in NorCal think they're progressive and tolerant and accepting. HA! Class A stuck up smug emitting ******** the lot of them.
Most people in SoCal think they're actually important. HA! Class AA stuck up smug emitting ******** the lot of them.
Most people outside California think both sides are freakish retards, and they're generally right with a few notable exceptions.

I hate everything south of me due to traffic. I have road rage problems... LA/SD isn't a good area for me..

I grew up in SoCal in the desert, talk about suck sauce. There was always a question in my head of who the **** decided this was a good place to live. There's no water, no jobs, and no hope. It's like an urban Appalachia.
