Born in S. Cal, raised in S. Oregon, and now live in W. Washington. I've also lived in D.C. for a number of years in my past due to (ex) in military. I've traveled various areas of the world and US for work and play. I enjoy the differences in culture, food and seeing new things. Particularly have enjoyed in the US Utah, Montana, WY, Colorado.
I like where I live now, good job, mild winters (no ice!)...all be it damp/chilly/cloudy. When I retire in the years ahead, I will not stay here. Too $ and too many people.
