A famous use of tax payers money:
The 3 million dollar shrimp project was cut due to the 1 billion dollar
minnow project::
Here is a link to the now famous Mantis Shrimp:

I bet the Mantis Shrimp could mop the floor with the imported Minnow. I can
see it now, pay-per-view, "Sammy the Shrimp Versus Meany the Minnow"

Yeah, well CA doesn't put out as much produce as it used to. Whenever I go
back to CA from AZ, in order to visit family, I drive up and down
Interstate 5. For practically the whole I-5 part of my trip I see empty,
dusty fields where there used to be beautiful orchards and lands full of
all kinds of fruits and vegetables. Now, just dusty, empty fields......oh
yeah, and hundreds of signs that say, "Congress Created Dustbowl". Yup,
devastated, dry land, all because Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Boxer and crew
wanted to save a minnow in the California Aqueduct. If I'm not mistaken,
that minnow is not even native to the region. It was imported. That's CA
for you.

Average gasoline prices in Arizona ($2.57/gal) are about 13% lower
than California ($2.97). How does that 13% difference turn into an
almost 100% (claimed) increase in your fill-up?
California has more than 3 times the lane-miles of Arizona and it's
drivers account for 11% of ALL of the miles driven in the entire
country (more than 5 times Arizona drivers, and we have a lower
fatality rate because no one from Arizona can drive worth a damn), so
yes, our roads do get used and abused and could use some love.
Believe it or not, road maintenance is what the fuel tax is used for,
we just have a lot more roads that need maintaining.
And "most" produce comes from California. And by most we're talking a
huge majority. Some comes from Mexico, some from other places, too,
but California is our nation's produce isle.
Michael is so. Cal.

know what they do with the nations highest fuel tax. It sure isn't put
into
the roads. I will not drive at night in parts of California since they
can't even afford to paint the lanes or put up reflectors. I once went
airborne at night while pulling my enclosed car hauler trailer since
California was too cheap to mark a raised railroad crossing.
I have seen better roads in third-world countries. As far as produce
goes,
most of it now comes from Mexico.
Again, no thanks,

No other state even comes close to California when it comes to produce
production, so it follows that no other states would have to enact
protections as tough as California. Don't like it, then stay out of
my state (and stop eating fruits, nuts, and vegetables altogether,
chances are they were grown here).
Michael in so. Cal.

That's California for you. Too much governmental control and wasted

can
tell when I am entering California from Arizona or Nevada just by the
condition of the roads and the agricultural check points. First you go
from
a smooth freeway into a patched together, multi-colored, quilted road
surface with no shoulders and than go through the indignity of an
inspection
station just have any American grown produce thrown in the trash.
No thanks!

Keeping this meteorite related, the California bug stations even look
for
firewood coming in from other states. So for example you are planning
a
meteorite
hunting trip into or through California and figure you would like to
haul
some firewood with you, you might want to know that they may or will
seize
it at the border inspection stations.

Hi All,
Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
As some of you know, I grow exotic plants, have a
Greenhouse, etc.
Unfortunately, CA is THE worst state when it comes
To importing plants.
