In reply to ricky smith. Dear old Pappa Uly always bragged about low energy bills in gritty Palmdale. Remember our promotional items included a fake signed Johnny Mize rookie card and a pack of Camels-

In reply to Ulysses Uhaul. You don't have to be much of a welder over in Palmdale. It's so hot, the metal just welds itself.

Ricky. We cannot do comfort food as the food/hygiene laws for flinging grease, breading, spicy gravies in black iron skillets a no no….

We are conflicted….not many so called real men on the coast with moving proclivities, so we troll doomer sights for customers.

Our rental yard is a security paradise, not pretty and metro fancy.

Our Comfort Bunker is a throwback the Battle of the Bulge on the exterior and inside looks like General LaMay’s NORAD.

We aim to please all types of patriots!

We real doomers don’t drink ‘tony’ coffees. We drink Folgers in the can. And we don’t call our biskits ‘Biscotti’.
BTW: if they don’t have sausage gravy on top we don’t eat ’em either.
Now If you want to cater to doomers you need to know what they like. That’s just one of the reasons we’re leaving. Too many of the pansy, neutered male types infesting Cali these days. No real men out here just puppy hugging, manicured, pedicured, leg crossing metrosexuals like our current governor.
I’m thinking about your offer provided you spruce the place up and start serving comfort food.
But honestly I know I can just drive over to the new compound in a neighboring free state and rent a U-haul at 1/3 your price.

P.S.

We got welder certifications grandfathered in when Pappa Uly ran the yard in our original yard in Palmdale in the late 1950’s.

Relax. We know our stuff.

Ricky we always have specials posted in our Comfort Bunker and at Free Willy’s Gun Range in the Superstitious Mountains.

We just got technicolor portraits of crusty Queeg cuddling Baby and Vicious complimentary for just stopping by and saying howdy. That tony style coffee always brewing and Mamma Clara’s hazelnut biscottis on hand for dipping-

Trailers are scarce after 10:00 am Thursday-Sunday…. try Tuesdays for top service when we throw in a quart jar of Mamma Clara’s organic vodka pasta sauce, a real treat.

And always scarce doomers….. we treat ya rite!

In reply to Queeg.

It’s true Queeg. Yes, I’m a doomer.
I have tried to stay and resist the elitist, green, high tech slaver oligachies catered to by the pandering corrupt politicians in Excremento.
But alas, it is time to go. Time to dismantle the gun towers,pack up the AR’s and leave the compound.
Any specials going on at the rental yard? BTW: are your welding certs current? I don’t want my hitch falling off in the Nevada desert.

In reply to Richard Cohen.

Good comments Richard.
These CCA’s never were anything more than virtue signalling by the rich greens.
I’m tired of getting screwed by PG&E with starting rates of 0.28 cents per kilowatt when my son over in Nevada pays less than 9 cents.
Think I’ll start my own CCA based solely on imported coal power from Nevada and Utah. A virtual cheap power syndicate.
Oh wait, this is California. We are not allowed to have reliable, cheap power.

This should not come as a big surprise. After all, these organizations are really more than ‘regulatory arbitrage’ set up by some well minded environmentalists and shoved down our throats by state and local regulators. You had to know something was wrong when you had to ‘opt out’ or you would automatically be tossed into their pool. These CCA’s really don’t do much of anything–they don’t produce power, they don’t operate or maintain the grid, have back offices or much of anything else. They exist because our utility bills do not adequately separate all these expenses from the actual provision of power…so the CCA’s arbitrage that their customers aren’t charged properly relative to utility customers. And even with these massive advantages it doesn’t sound like things are working out so well. The CCA’s as set up in CA do not make energy cleaner really, but they do make it even more expensive. We opted out and are staying out.
