Except for the Commie laws and taxes/gas/real estate prices, crime and traffic we have here, it's a good place to live :thumbsup:

Real Estate prices: Well that's how you have high quality of life

Hooray for illegal aliens, bringing you those tasty pistachios at bargain prices!

San Joaquin Valley rocks. :thumbsup:

Hey, I just read that link and it said most pistachios in the US are from Turkey. Dang.

While on the subject, is anyone here old enough to remember when pistachio nut shells were always dyed RED?

They were and I have never done research as to why they did this.

I'm not old, but I do remember eating red pistachios as a kid.

Approximately 98% of the pistachios produced in the U.S. are from California.

As well as smut production.

Fixed!

That's exactly what I thought of when I saw the thread title.

Don't be too harsh with him. RallyMaster used to own a pistachio farm in Kazakhstan until California pistachio farmers forced him out of business.

I was wondering what the source of that worthlessness spewing from his mouth was...thanks

Thanks. That explains the red dye. Most appreciated.

Yes, and of course it turned your fingers RED.

The Internet is great,

Commie laws? Which one bugs you in particular?

Gas? Yea I guess it sucks.

Real Estate prices: Well that's how you have high quality of life

Crime: Maybe if you talk about Oakland, Compton and Richmond, but San Jose is the state's 2nd largest city and amongst the most populous cities in the US it has far less crime than any of its competitors.

Traffic: Only in LA. SF kinda sucks too, but that's pretty much it.

:thumbsup: ditto for quality of life. San Jose is one of the safest large cities in the entire country.

Now I want some pistachios...maybe Ill drag my ass to the store.

At present the largest supplier of pistachios to the USA is Turkey.

First paragraph.

Me and a fellow from work were just talking about that. We concluded they are just different.
We will decide on what opinion is best for you.

Hmm... get rid of California, but lose most of the U.S. supply of pistachios...

Sounds good to me, where do we sign? :thumbsup:

Lucky for you guys but I don't live anywhere to have that kind of luxury to not worry about my car getting jacked.
