I guess it just depends on what you're into. If you're into sitting in the rocking chair with a tiki mug full of Metamucil watching the cows and tall trees, the 'yes' No Cal's your place.

Metamucil? Sorry, but here's the stats:

The two-year study of spending habits, released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, showed the average San Franciscan spent $744 on booze and $266 on books, out of an annual income of $70,237. The average resident of Los Angeles, by comparison, spent only $412 and $148 for the same items, out of an annual income of $53,514.

That means a San Franciscan spent 1.1 percent of his money on booze. An Angeleno spent only 0.77 percent.

Read 'em and weep:

We're better read and better lubricated.

Cheers,
Martin
