Number one in what exactly? Population, maybe, but there's a long way to go. In overall talent pool, again, achievement is not a zero sum game. Location means nothing. Should parents take their seven-year-old kids to Rosario Argentina? This whole line of "all these people are moving and therefore the talent pool will be gone" makes no sense, especially in a country that hasn't fully embraced the sport to its fullest training and athletic potential.

Have you seen #2 play? She's the real deal and has dreams and goals. Texas does things right. I love that place. I'm in doors anyways now a days and the beach is a zoo so maybe me wife and I will settle their some day too. Her grandma lives in San Antonio,

Texans play a very physical, rugby style soccer, if that is what you want, go for it. You can also try, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Georgia. Florida would be good for you too, they play a better style of soccer than Texas.

I think I'm with Luis on this one. So many people are leaving California and moving to Texas and their taking their goats with them and that will make them top of the food chain. They already have some of the best players and now with others and possibly #2, Texas will be #1.

I know one of the top RE Brokers in the nation. He said city of LA has had the biggest migration of people he has seen in the last 45 years including businesses. Moving out of the city to other counties, and out of state.

Luis, don’t know you but if this guy is agreeing with you......you might want to rethink it.
 
I was exaggerating about Texas but man every time I look at my IG and see all these teams playing I get sad. They have 5 times the covid infection rate and they are playing on like the cowboys that they are over there. I haven’t heard 1 story of covid19 and kids ending up in hospitals over there. Especially athletes that are healthy. I was so excited in the middle of June and once the mask wars started it all went downhill here in CA. A true smack in the face from our greasy Governor Newsom. There is no way we are having tournaments in August. We couldn’t get past the 6ft separation practices cause the cowboys here did not wanna to put on their masks. I hate the masks as well but for the sake of club soccer. I’d wear one all day.

You’re about 2 months late, we already covered all of this. I won. Just ask Outlaw, Sheriff Joe, MicPapa, Desert Hound, Watfly, Mars. Sorry I may have missed a few.

lots of strange things going on.And that’s why I don’t trust our governor or mayor anymore. I got a ton of stuff on them that just does not add up and why Texas keeps looking better and better every day.

Well, we’ve been focused on the skate park and she’s picking it up fast. Yesterday she came over to the bench that I was sitting on and said “dad, that dude keeps snaking me.” I’m still trying to figure what she meant but I think she‘s picking up on skater slang.

We haven’t started surfing yet. I’m thinking Linda Mar in Pacifa. I thought my buddy was going to give us lessons but he doesn’t want to lose “cool points” at the beach with me. I guess its not cool to surf with a 5mm wetsuit, hood, gloves, booties, and heated rash guard.

I may have to wait until I see you for the lessons. Is my surf gear that lame or is my buddy being a diva?

Can't tell if you're being serious (going for the whole Eskimo waddle if serious...), but Lindamar's running right now at mid to high 50's, so 4/3 + booties max. To be fair, hot chocolate in a thermos waiting in the truck is probably warranted. Btw, the south end of of the bay is best to learn. Generally slighter better shape. South of the Taco Bell.

hey big guy how are you doing? It’s been A while.


Here listening to the song needles by System of a Down. A song written 20 years ago and it describes 2020 to the tea. These guys were ahead of their time.

“I'm just sitting in my room
I'm just sitting in my room
With a needle in my hand
Just waiting for the tomb
Of some old dying man
Sitting in my room
With a needle in my hand
Just waiting for the tomb
Of some old dying man?
Cause you
My tapeworm tells me what to do
You My tapeworm tells me where to go
Pull the tapeworm out of your ass, hey”

We’re all suffering, but who knows what’s going to go down in Texas with all their numbers rising.

I believe wearing a mask and social distancing helps reduce R0, but, alone, it's won't put it under 1. Get enough people with immunity and then you have a shot with mask and distancing. Now isn't a great time in TX, AZ or FL. However, it looks like AZ might be turning the corner. Get enough people with immunity due to exposure and a mask and social distancing can be enough. I wouldn't be surprised to see AZ look pretty good come September and then through the fall. I haven't followed the trends in TX and FL so I can't tell where they are in the curve, but it seems like they aren't far behind AZ. The places I worry about in the fall are those that haven't had much exposure yet.
