Living in the Land of Crazy
Woman in the Middle | July 20, 2012I realize that many folks who do not live in So Cal think we are the epicenter of crazy already. Well, I have to tell you that the big city next to mine is truly the epicenter of the epicenter of crazy. Such weirdness and crazy happenings spring from the soil of this place that those of us who live here are rather ho hum about it. But when you study the matter, you realize that is doesn’t get much crazier than Riverside, California.
The latest incident is the tragic and horrible shooting rampage which occurred last night at a midnight showing of the latest Batman movie in Colorado. What could that possibly have to do with Riverside California??? Oh, just you wait! The shooter graduated two years ago from the University of California, Riverside. Yep, it is like the six degrees of Kevin Bacon. Just trace back the lineage of any weird, horrible, wild or crazy incident and I bet you will find that most roads lead to Riverside, CA.
I mentioned this weirdness several years ago to a cousin of mine who lives in Tennessee. She is still amazed by how often Weird Incident + Riverside = Crazy! Now you will be too!
Did you know that Riverside’s next-door neighbor, San Bernardino, is the birth place of the Hell’s Angels motorcycle gang?
