I live in a strange, strange state. What's hiding in all that smog, fog, and detritus, anyway? Is California really the land of dreams, or just schemes? Is it magical, a place to find your success and fortune, and is the weather worth it? I'm about to find out. I've lived here over 15 years, so ...
