Check out the map. Interesting info. Click on Benton County:
Moving from county to county

I see most migration from Calif going to Benton and Washington County which have good size towns. The more east you go Calif is not coming. I thought I was going to lose my Rural Life. I am from Calif but left to leave the big cities and blacktop. You have truly made my day.

Can you get me the sign that states you are now leaving California. I want it for by Wall in Arkansas I didn't get leaving. No just forget it. You would get caught and put in Prison in California for transporting State property across state lines. Just come to beautiful Arkansas but move to the bigger towns. Leave us in Rural Arkansas alone, we don't have McDonalds, Burger King, Delivered Pizza and the like you won't be happy. That way on weekends you can drive out to the rural areas and admire our big lawns, and trees and nature, and lack of traffic, very few stop lights.

no; Although I was borned and raised in CA I have found something I have wanted since the late 50's peace, good neighbors, kind people, and LIFE. Where can you move an live the words of songs, Like Wolvernton Mountain, Red River Valley, Hank Jrs song if the South would'a won and Good old Arkansas Wine. I am one of those people Nancy Pelosi stated we are Gun Totten, Bible clingers. I guess I am just Astro Turf too! Go figure. I never insulted Nancy but if I could I would now. I would like to smack that stupid smile off her face. If I had just the Money from one of her round trips to CA in the G-V aircraft I could pay off my house. Sorry I didn't mean to get political, opps!!!!!!!!

The only sad thing so far, our 8 year old, absolutely wonderful Springer Spanial is missing. We built a dog run, her managed to get out and now hasn't been seen for a couple of days. We will keep praying for his safety, keep checking everywhere we can and just hope, if he doesn't come home, he finds a wonderful mommy and daddy. He is the funniest and friendliest dog in the world plus very smart.

You need to print off and post "lost dog" posters around town rather soon. Include a photo, if one's available (it's amazing how ineffective description is, even if done accurately). Too, pin one up at your local veterinarian's office. Running an ad the local paper couldn't hurt, although I've *always* found it more effective to simply staple up lost pet posters around my area. If you live out in the country, it could be he/she is off on a sojourn and will return after the adventure-effect wears off. BTW, I live in Russellville.

I wish it would have worked but we tried all that. It has been almost a year and 1/2 now. Because he was chipped we really think someone saw him, picked him up and he will live the rest of his life happy. We will never get over losing him, but the most important thing is he is happy and loved. If you had known him you would know he is loved cause everyone loved him. Our old neighbors, our family and all our friends. We have had many dogs in 51 years of marriage, including several Springer Spanials because we bred for years, and none could compare with Reggie.

Well, at least he was microchipped. He could very well turn up, on down the road.

It is OK if you got a little political, sometimes it's hard not to.

Then I realized, she pissed them off too! If she gets re-elected for another term, then people will realize just how sick the West Coast has become. I think it's in the water. After all Orange County is drinking recycle human waste.
