Do you know what happened this week back in 1850 in California?

Cali became a state
The state had no electricity
The state had no money
Almost everyone spoke Spanish
There were gun fights in the streets

So basically, it was just like California now except the women had real breasts and the men didn't hold hands!

A few other differences in 1850:

You could smoke anywhere
Professional weightlifters were in the circus - not the capitol (although there will always be many clowns in our government)
