Last week, I posted about the trend of Californians relocating to Oklahoma, so the timing couldn’t have been better for a letter to the editor, published Saturday in the Oklahoman:

Comfort vs. chaos

Regarding “Finding a California dream in Oklahoma’s heartland” (feature, June 16): Offering a fresh start to newcomers has always been an Oklahoma tradition. After years of poking fun at our state, it’s not just Californians who’ve recognized its beauty, values and opportunities. Having lived in California for 20 years before being adopted by the great state of Oklahoma, I can attest to the comfort of stability versus the chaos of California.
