      and Duff beer. Takin’ on the big boys with the warehouse space. That’s a smokehouse of a different color.

    Awful. A former WCPD reserve told me today that individuals with guns in WC just get a field release citation now. Tougher in crime or this will be happening everyday. 108RS

      This is just one of many reasons we left California. I wasn’t about to spend one more dime of my money there. Living in Arizona has been eye opening. I bought twice the size house for half the money. No stupid covid mandates at all. Much cheaper state taxes and my property taxes are half of what we paid in Ca.

        Glad you made your move and your happy but I for one wouldn’t live in Arizona again if you paid me.
