We have ketchup-flavoured chips

We have an Adventist ghetto.

We have a crazy rich man that lives in this town. He planted cadillacs nose down in a field--they call it the Cadillac Ranch, he also put nutty signs up all over town.

We are also known for our sunsets.

Is he kind of a nosey person Liz?

Perhaps both nosey and nutty?

LOL, I think he is just crazy--either that or he is what happens when you have too much money and no one to tell you no.

I used to live in a house that only had a "community" outhouse. The outhouse was just the typical wooden outhouse with a hole over a stream of water. But that was all we had.

The president rides his bike near where I live sometimes.

The Secret Service Training base is 5 minutes away

There is a CIA listening station 5 minutes away.

NSA is 15 mins away

Alot of "spooks" hang around here.

Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence.

We have an annual event called "break-up".

Outhouse races are held every spring.

We have 2 months with less than 6 hours a day of sunlight.

We have 4 months with more than 20 hours a day of sunlight.

We have road signs warning of "sled-dog crossings".

A paved road is considered a luxury, not a necessity. Actually, roads are still deemed luxuries in some parts of the county.

We have roads that only exist in winter. Rivers are main arterials.

Want more?

My local area is closed down every winter due to heavy ice.

We have a defunked greyhound racetrack that a businessman is trying to turn into a non-Native American casino. And it is smack dab in the middle of a residential neighborhood.

We have the only river where people from 3 states come to dip smelt during the rare smelt runs.

I've never really thought about being safer. Thinking about it now maybe if there were to be a major war I guess the NSA and Fort Meade (which is down the road) would be major targets.

All the suff about this area is out there on the net.

For awhile, in certain resale shops you could buy cheap some really nice, expensive suits that former enron execs had to sell off. I don't know if there are many of those left though. haven't done any of that type of shopping in the last few months.

I prayed for twenty years but received no answer until I prayed with my legs.

We are the home annual National Cowboy Poetry Gathering and have one of the nations leading Gold Mine producers.

There is a range of absolutely gorgeous mountains, small town atmosphere, few traffic jams, many jobs available and can't find enough people to fill them!

If anyone wants more information, let me know. We would love to have some more SDA's move here.

We live near one of the largest tourist attractions in the world.

We have snowbirds every winter, who travel north in the springtime (in their motor homes).

We're supposed to get 6 inches of snow this weekend at higher elevations- and I live 2 hours from LA.

Behold what manner of love the Father hath given unto us.

I live in an Adventist University Town. Loma Linda vege meats are sold in all the local stores here in Riverside California. I alwways thought one could get the loma linda vege meat anywhere until I moved away and could not get Loma Linda foods anymore. Then I knew how fortunate we are here in Riverside with a high concentration of Adventists in the area.

We have 40,000 adventist living with a 40 mile radius and two Adventist universities. Loma Linda and La Sierra
