the BEST STATE EVER

today the baron is thinking about how california really is the best state. she has said this before, making that sweeping comment based mostly on the fact that her family is there, as are san francisco, berkeley, los angeles, los angeles' good vegan restaurants, riverside (which, despite its location in the inland empire and in spite of the fact that it is consistently ranked among the nation's worst locations for air quality, is one of the baron's favorite places), and all that orange county coastline.

now, though, the baron has one more reason to tout california as the BEST STATE EVER, and it goes a little something like this: the california supreme court (the BEST SUPREME COURT EVER) ruled that same-sex couples have a constitutional right to marry. to do this, the court overturned two california state laws that had defined marriage as a union between a man and a woman.

it is perhaps worth noting that, in this regard, massachusetts might also be a good place to live.

amiene rev -- there are no crocodiles in massachusets. they have aligators and kennedys.

after living in california for nearly four years i have been unconvinced of this fact. but with this momentous decision as well as the blooming of the (purple) jacarandas this week, i whole-heartedly agree.
