I live in Los Gatos 45 minutes south. Nice to meet you. My husband was on the town counsel here and he has a law office. I worked in the addiction field. The bay area has changed a lot, its crazy busy now.
The bible is an assembly of the 200 year after the fact ramblings of some crazy people. There are much better crafted "stories" to read for bedtime. Thanks.
I like the redwoods and the rocky coast, but California is just pretty much good or better all over (in case you really do live there or did or whatever).
