Default 158 years ago today...

Subject: 158 Years Ago




158 years ago...

Do you know what happened this week back in 1850, 158 years ago?

California became a state.
The State had no electricity.
The State had no money.
Almost everyone spoke Spanish.
There were gunfights in the streets.

So basically, it was just like California today; except the women had
real breasts and the men didn't hold hands.

I have no idea why this reminds me of the saying, "...when ships were made of wood and the sailors were made of Iron..."

I sent this to a friend in CA. She laughed her butt off and said this is very true.
