2. You make over $300,000 and still can't afford a house.

3. You take a bus and are shocked at two people carrying on a conversation
in English.

4. Your child's 3rd-grade teacher has purple hair, a nose ring, and is
named Breeze.

5. You can't remember...is pot illegal?

6. You've been to a baby shower that has two mothers and a sperm donor.

7. You have a very strong opinion about where your coffee beans are grown,
and you can taste the difference between Sumatran and Ethiopian.

8. You know which restaurant serves the freshest arugula.

9. You can't remember...is pot illegal?

10. A really great parking space can totally move you to tears.

11. A low speed police pursuit will interrupt ANY TV broadcast.

12. Gas costs $1.00 per gallon more than anywhere else in the U.S.

13. A man gets on the bus in full leather regalia and crotchless chaps. You

14. Unlike back home, the guy at 8:30am at Starbucks wearing the baseball
cap and sunglasses who looks like George Clooney really IS George Clooney.

15. Your car insurance costs as much as your house payment.

16. Your hairdresser is straight, your plumber is gay, the woman who
delivers your mail is into S & M, and your Mary Kay rep is a guy in drag.

18. Its barely sprinkling rain and there's a report on every news station:
"STORM WATCH 2003."

himself is teaching the 4:00pm Tae Bo class.

20. You pass an elementary school playground and the children are all busy

California is the granola state: What isn't fruit or nuts is flakes.

Lived in So Cal 50 yrs. It's all true..............:D

That's so true. The stations justify showing the chases to, warn people of a dangerous persuit so they can stay in their homes. Which is funny because it seems like whenever a persuit ends up in a residential area, there're always yahoos who stand on the corner waving on the felon. :|
