    I had one west of Dallas. 104 'F , it was like blast furnace. Put on the green acid suit and I about died. I get out take top half off of suit apron and star pouring water bottles on my head in the cab with the ac on. Then go back out to continue it. I quit a few months later. I asked like 4 times if I had to unload it. The dispatch was lied to or lied to me. I called her up and ripped her a new one. Which I never do.

    I got about 150K out of a set of R283A's.

    Once a divet gets taken out, or you bump something and don't get an alignment, it's the beginning of the end.

    Y'all should have helped the hippies die out, instead through fostering them you created this mess. We needed more Okies from Miscogee, and less old hippies.

    As one of the "Old Hippies" Descendant from Oakies (well Kansas dust bowl emigrants) Most of us have been run out over the past couple of decades.

    Then again every time the regional dominant economy transitions the population changes. Most of the kids I went to school with were drug out there when their parents got jobs in the aerospace industry. Those families left about the time computers came in and Aerospace moved to San Diego or the Confederate states. Then the economy transitioned to Software and the population flowed again. And again with the Dot commie revolution. Second generation bails out and a influx of socialites from outside replaces them.

    The problem I see is the Socialite Corporatist that have no respect for the blue collar folks. The wives of the corporate directors are some of the most out of touch people on the planet. And their politics and Philanthropy do more harm than good.

    My opinion is the state needs to be split up so that the LA basin and SF bay area do not continue the death spiral. The La Basin, SF Bay area, and the Northern areas of the state all have very different regional governance needs, but my main point is the other state and federal institutions need to realize these are regional needs and stop adopting them when not appropriate.
