Part-time ex-Engineer living up here in the mountains of NorCal (Northern California), originally from Silicon Valley. Came up here to visit a friend and just fell in love with the area, now I can not imagine living anywhere else. More Libertarian/Anarchist/Constitutionalist than Conservative, and I do hold many Conservative values, but not a Liberal by any stretch of the imagination, lol. Love this country, although some parts of its government need tweaking, and spent almost ten years in the military doing My small part in what I felt was My duty to give something so that we all could enjoy its prosperity.
