Dale - thanks for the thoughts...

I was studying environmental science. I'd like to finish that degree, but might make it a double bachelor's. Still haven't decided, kind of just living day to day without thinking too much (harder than it sounds!).

Mark - I most likely will be coming your way when I move. I have another stop in the LA area also. I won't be missing the Seattle weather at all. Funny how fast I got acclimated to arid sunny days. I will try your gray sheet and sprinkler idea, but it won't be the same without really crappy drivers and a truckload of gloom to go with it.
