I just thought it was odd because in Indiana, every two or three days you get a rip roar and thunder and lightning storm and maybe tornadoes and high winds and stuff and hail.

And it was great.

But in California, it was always that white, hot, silvery sun in the egg, Robin's egg, blue sky, right?

Like nothing was going to happen.

And I can remember one time.

a surprise thunderstorm blew up in over Mexico somehow, and it rained unexpectedly, and nobody had known it was going to happen.

And oh my God, hospitals quit scheduling surgery.

They shut down the freeway.

Schools were closed.

It rained for like eight minutes.

And I just thought, I can't be friends with this place.

Yeah, we have floods sometimes, and the floods come from like an inch and a half of rain.

Yeah, and then whenever the freeways get wet, it's holiday on ice.

Yeah.

Just look out.

So it took me a long time to get used to that, and then I began to love it for every reason everybody loves California.

75, yeah.

Well, I always like to mention it was so good because Jerry Brown, the governor,

was dating Linda Ronstadt.

Oh, wow.
