IT WOULD BE EASY FOR ME TO ENDLESSLY rag on California. However, to be fair, California could be a stunningly beautiful state if the too many people and the too many cars could be disappeared. But, of course, that's never gonna happen.

Maybe, one day in the future, the wife and I will return to California with the intention of driving the length of the state avoiding the cities and interstates, stopping in small towns and seeing the countryside. That written, as our California visit is coming to an end-on to Santa Fe-I am reminded of a verse from the Keb' Mo' song, City Boy:

I hear a voice, I hear the sound
The sound of my shoes, shuffling out of town
Too many people, too many cars
Take me to Memphis, Mercury, or Mars

Cause I wanna go
Where the buffalo roam
Just a city boy
Looking for a home
