California

Guess we know what the driver thinks about California residents.

The hottest bear of the summer just dropped.

How would you feel if you had to move to the state that is the one you despise the most? That is statistically what's happening when it comes to the state that has the most residents moving to Missouri. They also happen to come from the biggest arch rivals the Show Me State has in America.

Sometimes you learn things you can't explain and that's definitely true for this. Statistics show that a large number of people in California are choosing to move to Missouri. Let's explore this mystery.

For good reasons, Hannibal, Missouri loves to claim Mark Twain as their own. The truth is we share his legacy with many other parts of the country, too. One little known example is a tiny town in the California Sierra Mountains that's named after Samuel Clemens.

The year was 1941.  Americans were preoccupied with World War Two going on in Europe.  Nerves were on edge and Americans needed something or someone to do something positive.  That someone turned out to be Joe DiMaggio of the New York Yankees.

Here are a few of my favorite webcam locations if you care to take a virtual tour with me.
