    What happened 157 years ago hahaha

    A friend sent this to me in an email, I thought it was hilarious...

    157 Years Ago

    Do you know what happened this week back in 1850, 157 years ago?

    * California became a state.
    * The State had no electricity.
    * The State had no money.
    * Almost everyone spoke Spanish.
    * There were gunfights in the streets.

    So basically, it was just like California is today, except the women had real breasts and the men didn't hold hands.
    I believe you Dottie and you have my support

    Did the lights go out in California AGAIN? I got caught in an elevator at a hotel in 2001 when they were having power problems, and I wanted to die. I take the stairs as much possible because of that.

    Rant over.

    We lose our power about once a month here in Hollywood.

    Not to hijack the thread, but remember when Enron artificially inflated its profits in 2001 by shutting down the supply of electricity in California, creating more demand and causing prices to go up? I heard on the radio today that gas prices are going up again because "demand exceeds the supply and no one knows why" and "several production stations are not working." Sounds like history repeating itself, huh? Produce a product and you make money, but DON'T produce the product and you make even more!

    ^^See, I've never lost power in Brentwood/Santa Monica in the past year, so I didn't know if other parts of town were.

    I HATED when the power BS was going on in 2001. I was in 29 Palms and San Diego, and having no power in the middle of summer sucked. I was so glad to get out of there when I moved to NC!
