Aw come on!  It's 116 miles as the crow flies from LA to San Diego! 
That's farther than it is from here to Waco!  They're asking for LA, 
not 100+ miles away!  California's enough of a car culture already 
without some crazy kanuk encouraging them to drive more!

My sources (www.indo.com/distance/ , if you must know) say that 
there's two Lagunas in California.  Ok, so one IS in LA county, and 
is probably the one that the Bucketman is/was from. (the other's 340 
some miles away).

And it's not really my fault that the Bucket Brigand hasn't bothered 
to list any of the wonderous straw structures that he's been involved 
with in the Registry.  You want to give someone a hard time, talk to 
him about that.  :-)

Hey, everybody knows that us 'murrikins don't know jack about geography!

Oh good, does that mean I get to take off the stinging nettle/fire 
ant/scorpion shorts now?
