First, really glad your setback was so minor. You certainly sound at full strength in this thread.
I've never really understood the I-wouldn't-live-anywhere-else mentality of some Californians. Doesn't smog, traffic, and crime count for anything? I spent 6 years in San Diego and 2 in Los Angeles, all of it near the ocean, so I'm not talking blindly here. But I've found equal satisfaction and beauty elsewhere and have zero desire to return to Calif.
I think some So. Californians build up this horror of cold weather to monumental heights. There are pleasures and tradeoffs with almost every locale. I'm curious where else you've lived, Vic.
