A Warning About California

Scurvy and sinning: that's what you'll get in California. This is how Mama's brother described it in his letters. Uncle Shufelt stole away in '49 and never came back.

George, here.

My associates assure me that in intervening years California has grown to offer some of the finest food. So, reluctantly, they've convinced me to host an event in honor of California tomorrow (below). 

Unfortunately, our meeting on this matter quickly turned to debate.

Having both lived there, my associates disagreed over favorite songs "California" themed songs. One suggested something described as a classic rap anthem by some chap named "2 Pac" Another volunteered a rock song by a collection of musicians known (appropriately) as "Social Distortion". Then they presented a list of even more California-themed songs of every genre.

They said, "Crank them up and imagine you're cruising down the 101".

I have no idea what that means. However, I assume from their song choices it involves scurvy and sinning.

Let's hope this "California wine" and "California chèvre" have more taste.

Yours truly,
George
