Like it a lot! I thoroughly enjoy living here, too, and built a second home here very quickly as soon as I got a taste of the fresh air and wonderful climate! I've lived here ever since I found myself lost in a very big, very scary, very desolate desert fairly early in 2001, and needing to find a safe haven. Found it here, in a warm and welcoming community with lots of friends, great thinkers, analysts, activists, wonderful writers, researchers, and teachers - BEST research library I've ever found, anywhere! No murder rate, no guns in our faces, no school massacres, very low cost-of-living, the weather tends to be consistently great - AND we have one great rock band! I doubt I'll be moving out, anytime soon.
