God was missing for six days. Eventually, Michael, the archangel,
found him, resting on the seventh

He inquired, --- "Where have you been?"

God smiled deeply and proudly pointed downwards through the
clouds,---- "Look, Michael. Look what I've made."

Archangel Michael looked puzzled, and said, ---- "What is it?"

"It's a planet," --- replied God, --- and I've put life on it I'm
going to call it Earth and it's going to be a place to test
'Balance.'"

"Balance?" --- inquired Michael, ---- "I'm still confused."

God explained, pointing to different parts of Earth.

"For example, northern Europe will be a place of great opportunity and
wealth, while southern Europe is going to be poor. Over here I've
placed a continent of white people, and over there is a continent of
black people. Balance in all things..."

God continued pointing to different countries. --- "This one will be
extremely hot, while this one will be very cold and covered in ice."

The Archangel , impressed by God's work, then pointed to a land area
and said, --- "What's that one?"

"That's Texas, the most glorious place on earth. There are beautiful
trees and gardens, a beautiful river, and days filled with sunshine.
The people from Texas are going to be handsome, modest, intelligent,
and humorous, and they are going to travel the world.

They will be extremely sociable, hardworking, high achieving, carriers
of peace, and producers of good things."

Michael gasped in wonder and admiration, but then asked, --- "But what
about balance, God? You said there would be 'balance.'"

God smiled, --- "I will create California…Wait till you see the idiots
I'll put there.".
 
Tangential but, I had two uncles that thrived in California before it lost its way.
They lived in Orland, south of Chico a bit.
They pooled their money and bought a rustic, rudimentary cabin on half an acre in the magical Redwood forest for 2000 bucks in the late forties.
Starting in the 60s, everytime they went to use it, they had to meet the sheriff there to run the armed squatters off that lived in it every moment my uncles were at home.
Happy ending for my cousin who inherited it though.
In the 90s he sold it for 970K just for the land value alone.
Lucky putz.
