I don't know. When you figure out Californians, let us know. They're all over Sandpoint and Coeur D'Alene, and the only thing that's keeping them out of the silver valley is the lead. Well, not real lead, just their notion that the whole place is a toxic waste dump. A few years ago they made a big movie in Wallace and the crew had truckloads of California water hauled in because they thought they'd get leaded by the local water. I'm sure that will only hold them off for a little while before they realize they could buy a small town for what they'll get selling their house in LA. So far, the few Californians we have are sensible enough not to complain about the locals, but I doubt that will last forever. By the way, I'm not slamming all Californians. I pity those who live up in the north or out in the desert and are still subject to all the Sacramento regulations. I'm referring to the ones who drive in in their $60,000 rig that's never seen mud, wearing wrap-around shades and blow-dried hair and expect you to be impressed because they have more money and can tell you who they know.
