I didn't know Michigan was that bad.  Noelle and I visited Ann Arbor and
it was quite nice.  Very Missoula, MT-like.

Well, the only thing that has a definite future in Ca is nursing.
I don't know if I could get past the blood and guts, but old people are
going to be coming to Ca in droves due to the baby boom reaching
retirement age.

...I wish all my and Noelle's friends here in the Bay Area would just
relocate to somewhere cheaper with more jobs.  All I care about here is
the culture and my friends.
