I googled and we're both wrong. Something about the way the San Andreas works, Kali isn't ever going to fall into the ocean. What will happen though, is Kali will eventually go hit the Aleutian trench.

So instead of falling into the Pacific you're gonna become Palin's neighbor. I don't know which fate is worse.

So will that qualify me to run for president when I can see Russia from my house?

The coastal area of california is on a different tectonic plate than the rest of north america, so yes we are shifting north, at a rate of like 1 inch per year. So when sh!t looks like the jetsons around here, we'll be where Frisco is.

How La La Land. "Oh, I am going to drive to 'Frisco' for the weekend."

or even worse LA.

Whoa there sparky, calm down. Why do you jump so quickly to homosexuality? You trying to suppress your latent feelings? That is something for you and your husband to work through.

But back to Oklahoma, you can build cheap houses and have your unskilled labor jobs. But that doesn't change the fact that Oklahoma is a shithole.

ETA: LA is in the 3rd quintile when ranked by employment growth. OKC is in the 4th. But if it makes OKC feel better, my metro (Edison, NJ) is in the 5th quintile. Goddamnit.
