I'm comfortable.

exactly. i'd be out of utah, if it weren't for the support of my in-laws with my son (four years old). i know i would make at least 25% more money/year where i want to go, with a decrease in cost of living of at least 15%. the pollution here is at least as bad as so-cal, the traffic sucks, the drivers suck, the politics suck, the religion bias is nearly suffocating. in the end, it comes down to the support network of my wife's family for our reason to stay.
i've lived in seven states and worked, on the road, in dozens. i've passed through every single state in the union (all 57
) except alaska and north dakota.
anyway, peace out. i loved kalifornia, when i was a child. i've been there as an adult and it is not the utopia it is advertised.
