You have to realize the whole of California is not just what you see on tv (I bet you still believe that BayWatch is real) and I can`t believe that a tough military guy as you are, is so scared of the occasional earthquake. Plus the smog ain`t nothing to be worried about, I`ve been here for 21 years and have long-time friends and have met hundreds of people that have never had a problem with the air quality.
This is more TV sensationalism on your behalf, and because you are snowed in, and tv is one of your few outlets of what`s going on in other states, further out than Mon-Tucky.
My parents love to come out there once or twice a year and stay for a month or so because it helps with their arthritis (the dry heat) and makes them feel 100% more mobile. We take long walks along the boardwalk at the beach, which improves blood flow especially "down south", absorbing all the beautiful scenery (especially the chicks for me and my dad).
I`m sure that you have shot monster sized cannons with shells landing that can make the ground shake, more than the occasional quakes that we have here. Was you scared of those also, did they make you more nervous than you were at CandleStick park in SF after you felt an earthquake? (you told us that story)
And if you ever get your tough military balls back to come and visit Scary Sunny So California, there are free taxi services that will chauffeur you around.... Don`t worry our slightly higher taxes will pay for your rides.
