I know that some of you will just roll you eyes and say it is too exaggerated, but having lived in California and being subjected to several building projects where there were so many unreasonable demands placed on the builder, some of which denied any logic what so ever, this story is very close to reality.
Enjoy, especially to all the Californians!

The buzzards eat the dead coyote.
And that, my friends, is why California is broke and Texas is not.
Well that is one of the reasons anyway, there are dozens of other reasons. And perhaps it explains why a handful of my old buddies have packed up and moved to Texas.
