Truth. When I learned about the line, in elementary school, I
was intrigued about a Union state being below the line. Years
later I found out about the top half of Alabama, which was
Union-aligned until it was taken over.

The most notable factor is the large flow of mainly Democrat
retirees from the north (the same ones who were supposedly
victimized by faulty voting machines in recent elections).
Not only are liberal politics injected into the mix, but also
urban tastes and a certain amount of cold cash that usually
has some effect.

 DS> Title: San Francisco Cocktail

We just happen to be there now.

 DS> 2    Fifths white port
 DS> 8 oz Light rum

Hum, as xxcarol might say. Today we walked past a guy who
we thought might be dead, so I took a glance at him, and
the verdict was that he probably had a severe overdose of
something like white Port or rum. When we went back that
way, he was gone, and there hadn't been a police car or
ambulance in the interim, so all musssht have been well.
