Every nation has the right to create that system of government by which it conceives it will live most happy, provided that it infracts upon no rights, nor is dangerous to others. Not much to say. I am a former Californian. Born and raised in the Los Angeles area, though I have lived in a number of places in that state. Presently, my profession has brought me to Williamsburg, VA where I live quite happily. I am a freemason (see they aren't all retired)I play an odd collection of mostly historic instruments and practice Wet Plate Photography. That last is to say that I make Ambrotypes and tintypes by way of an archaic and obsolete method.
