And I'm really wishing we lived someplace back east. My uncle (from MA) has a good way of describing CA: "It's like the zoo. Nice to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there."<BR/>I've decided that I really, REALLY do not like CA, after two years of living here.

To be fair, in terms of size, you'd need to add New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and Washington, DC.<BR/><BR/>And you went to California at the wrong time of year -- it's midsummer.

I could write a list of 200 reasons why New England is better!
