Maureen, I tend to stay out of the primate dung flinging contests, and there is a lot of dung created by both sides. You don't strike me as the type of person that needs rescuing from anything, but I'll keep that in mind for future posts. If someone says something stupid (beyond the typical taunts), then I'll step in. Otherwise, have fun.
California is a beatiful place to visit. I highly suggest it. It also has a complex history due to centuries of Spanish influence and the more recent immigrants. And we shouldn't forget the Chumash either. The California that Steinback wrote about has largely sunk beneath the waves. There's a different conception of time out there. 20 years is old. Out East, a few hundred years is old. I'm sure in Ireland, some would consider a couple hundred years as yesterday.
And I'd rather have my back scratched than my belly rubbed, just to set the record straight.
