I was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In the winter of '55, it snowed a cumulative 38 feet. That melted, and my dad moved us to California. Except for time in the US Navy (I joined to see the world, but never made it overseas), one year in Idaho, and nearly three years in Cape Canaveral, I've lived in California. I currently live about 25 miles from where I grew up. My family mostly lives near here, too.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
