After being born and raised in So Cal, I was eventually stampeded out and live here in beautiful Texas.
I miss the weather like a junkie misses heroin but I have been able to make it and just look at the latest new taxes in my old home to feel instantly better.
Yeah...here you! We continue to look at the Idaho Panhandle. People are a LOT more simpatico to us.
