Welcome, i spent 5 years out there myself. Pick out a branch, and relax. There is a lot to learn here, ans we look forward to your comments as well.
Grew up there...you have my sympathy. Welcome to the asylum...I think we have a couple more inmates that are down there.
Everyone with there sympathies! I have been all over the world as I travel for work and believe me, I would love to get out of Komufornia. My problem is the ocean. I have been surfing for 32 years and aside from leaving the country to go south (Nicaragua/Costa Rica) there is no where I can work and have ocean other then here. At this point in life its my necessary evil.
I understand necessary evils. I live in SFV because my husband needs the resources nearby, and he's not very good at navigating in a rural setting. Besides *sigh* that's where the job is.
I have a dry suit and family in Sitka. I would live up there in a second if I could find work. I am a technical bag, shoe, designer and there is no work up there for me....
There is nothing that offends me. Well maybe liberals who think my tax dollars should pay for them to live for free.....
