I lived many years in Tacoma (Pierce County), have zero desire to go back. Granted, I lived in "Hilltop", but it wasn't the neighborhood. it's that gawdawful, never-ending rain. Not enough days to take the top off of the Vette w/o worrying about the weather turning it into a hot tub. River Rock, TX ... now there's a nice lookin place. A crime rate about half of the Boise area, lower cost of living, cheap land, and better pay. No state income tax, lower sales tax (now), and plenty of warm nights and sunny days fit for road racing and autocross; not to mention just plain cruisin. Oh yeah. ;) Cheers, Bill _______________________________________________ Libnw mailing list Libnw@immosys.com List info and subscriber options: http://immosys.com/mailman/listinfo/libnw Archives: http://immosys.com/mailman//pipermail/libnw
