I know what you mean, my family got to California in 1850 (I know a little late). I've been seeing this "Cali" thing for a couple of years now. Seems to be a new trendy thing.

Personally I'm not fond of it. But I think it's too late to stop. Avis ran an ad last year that said "With Avis, driving the coast in Cali gets you a free upgrade"
