My mutt had the flees once ... we were glad to see them go when they did.
Are you saying that middle class people are fleas? Or are you saying the people leaving California are fleas?

Gall dang it, yer right. Confusing the weed stuff with the stinky stuff the roomies spray the dogs with. Unpleasant stuff, both.

The Roundup would do better to repel the invaders from CA, if you folks are so inclined. Might scatter them to ID or MT.

I am one of those invaders and I have no interest in repeling anybody that would like to move here. I welcome all. Even if you are bigdumb

Nope, not in any hurry to invade anybody else's territory. Standing pat here in San Joneser. Got another soccer season about to start, and a new stadium on tap.

One of the map books I made had a picture of a wagon with all their belongings loaded all over it. That is another reason why this picture really caught my eye.
