Born in northwestern PA, grew up in the Imperial Valley and San Bernardino, where we did steal Norcal water. Escaped to the Eastern Sierras where everyone steals our water. That is OK, we like wide open spaces and no land available to Bay area or Socal developers. The downside is the closest card shop is in Reno, and the only show up here is Mule Days, sh@t boy howdy. Oh yeah. A great place to build and fish bamboo rods.

Not much water to be found in the Imperial Valley (does Sultan Sea count?). I know first hand as I've had the privilege of spending several July days (weeks) in Brawley/El Centro... highs were 116 during day, lows about 112 at night. Awesome!

Andy, Kenny & Casey,

I live in Fort Wayne, Indiana now, so I guess I would fit in on the pole between Ill and Ohio; but I grew up in Moore, OK in the 80s. I used to ride my bike from off of 4th street by the hospital in Moore all the way to the south side off OKC off of Western Ave. to Roger Neufeldt's Sports Memories. I still enjoy saying hi to Roger every National. Used to love beating the Norman Tigers in sports. Go Lions!

+0.5.. My dad is from Enid, OK and went to OU during their epic win streak. As a 13 year old kid he watched 18 year old Mickey Mantle, then with the Joplin Miners play his hometown Giants. I now have the signed team ball he got that day with Mantle on the sweet spot.

Yup. I remember people sleeping on their roofs under mosquito nets to stay cool..of course that was 1959 and no self-respecting person would do that any longer...

Did you go to Waltham High? Went there in the mid 70's, two years behind Freddie Smerlas. Grew up on south side, behind Calvary Cemetary.
