Arizona and (perhaps)Texas is next. Then things will move north, perhaps bypassing northern Kalifornia but definitely coming to Oregon.
It may be that the liberals are killing everything they touch.

Maybe we will see this again, a-la Start Trek (TMP).
Either way it is cool that a man-made object is leaving the solar system.
10.8 billion miles. A long way.
And a tribute to those who built the machine 33 years ago.
So I have spent the past 24 hours in the presence of people who were stranded by the snow in NW Indiana.
Couple of observatons:
Pay attention to the weather along your route: A significant number of people were stranded because they had NO IDEA that there was to be any significant weather action for the duration of their trip.
Have equipment adequate to the task: Bald tires in winter are a BAD IDEA. So are worn out wipers, failed defrost fans, non working lights, etc.
Wear or carry appropriate clothing for the weather you can reasonably expect. Shoes, coats hats,gloves, etc. Your expected trip may be from house to car to another house, but you may have to detour from your route, and end up walking in those same office shoes, that thin coat, and REALLY need that hat to keep your ears a part of your physique.
To keep yourself from being beaten by your fellow stranded travellers, be on your best behavior around those who, like you, are stressed and out of their normal environment.
Whining might get your ass beat.
YMMV.
Or resistant to Molotov type beverages?
Bet it makes ’em feel like robocop though….
’cause if not, it’ll just piss of those of us in “flyover country”. Might work in the east and left coast states (and Chicago), where most of the populace is disarmed, but not where I live.
YMMV, and this is, of course, only for discussion.
Lots of neat hardware (and an educational look at police attitude at the home page though.
ETA: more thoughts HERE. He beat me by three days.
and just ISOLATE southern Kalifornia from the US. Maybe let Mexico have it back.
It is, after all, full of crazy, looine, stupid Idiotic FUCKING MOONBATS!
But I digress,
Really, have you ever heard of a county council acting any more stupid?
Why is it always the liberal strongholds?
Seriously.
Perhaps you should watch your kid more closely…..?
Apparently the firefighters had enough spare change (and skill with the claw?) to get the kid out.
So today, one of the guys who drives the snowplow which cleans the parking lot for my business comes in to use the bathroom and get a cup of coffee. He’s an opionated guy, and VERY liberal, so we do hae some interesting conversations sometimes.
“did ya hear that they are going to extend the “Bush Tax Cuts”? He asks…..
(my staff ducks)
“Why yes, I did” says I
“Gonna cost the government like 4 billion dollars” he says…..”Where are we gonna get the money to make that up?”
“Well, first of all, it’s not like the government already had the money….” I began
“Not fair!” he interjects, “those who have more should pay more!”.
“Really”, I replied…Cutting him off somewhat sharply.
“How many unplowed driveways did you pass on the way here?” I asked.
“I dunno,” he replied “quite a few?”
“Did you plow any of them?” I asked sweetly
“No” was his reply….
“Why not?” I asked
“cause they haven’t paid to have their driveways plowed” he responded.
“But you have a snowplow on YOUR truck” I said….
“Yeah, so?” was his reply
Then the light dawned.
He turned and walked out and finished the parking lot.
Why can’t liberals apply logic to their own thoughts?
