I had the time of my life in California, L.A. area. There was everything to do at world class levels. The weather is the best in the U. S., maybe the world. Anything you want. Los angeles was great but,,,,,,,,,,,,,as one of my friends put it, "So great that it was choking on ists own success." That was back in the early eighties.

I moved out. Don't regret it. Family was undisputable trump. So, I love the seasons and have learned to put up with winters that are too long. The fresh water of our Great Lakes and thousands of small lakes played a big part too. And the housing thing. I bought 2.5 acres with an old 50' tin can to live in for $3500. As I got the cash, I built indoor storage for almost 50 small cars including a drive in basement under a doublewide. So, the car hobby works, but each area has its benefits and I believe in different horses for different courses.

Miss friends and the beach in the winter. Don't have the same activities, but I don't spend so many hours driving, trying to do it all.
