[QUOTE="Justin, post: 3138707, member: 21262"] Wow, so much crunchy goodness I feel obligated to respond to all the main points! :) That's impressive. I used to have a lot of books, relatively speaking, but I sold pretty much everything and now I have really just a handful and most of those are very recently purchased. I've found it hard to find books I'm interested in both reading and keeping. :\ That's very true of Boulder, too. OTOH, I don't like Boulder. OTTH, I'm not really a bicyclist anyway, though at times I think I might find it appealing, except for costs and the dangers of riding anywhere near traffic. I did try mountain biking once and while it was exhilarating, I feared for my life the whole time and haven't done it since (sold the bike, even). And doesn't the rain put a damper on biking to work? Even if it is nice in the morning, what about the ride home if it rains at the end of the day? I recall this redundant name from some Googling and have a memory of finding it appealing. I'll definitely be looking into it as an option for this weekend. It's hard to miss on the map. Oddly, I'm not much for culture, but it certainly doesn't hurt to at least check these kinds of things out. This seems to be everyone's number one response when asked about the PNW. I've only lived in Colorado for a year now and I've found even in that short a time I've come to be spoiled about sunny days and probably don't appreciate them as much as I should. OTOH (how many hands is that now?), it's the rain that makes the PNW so lush and I think that is a fair trade-off. Colorado (at least where I live) is just so dry and barren. They might as well rename it Arrakis. I used to live in Northern Virginia, so I know all about high costs of living. But I still rent and right now have no desire to buy. The costs just aren't worth it given my needs. However, if I were to move up there I'm hoping I would finally find a place that feels like "home" (which I've never had since I was a child) and want to settle down and build. Which is why I like living just outside a big city. Close enough to go in but not have to deal with the traffic on a daily basis. I've also been fortunate with the location of jobs relative to where I live in that I've never had to deal with excessive traffic. I'd just have to plan right. ;) I've only been in the mountains here maybe three times even though they were a reason I chose to move here. OTOH, waterfalls rock! Mean-Eyed Cat, thank you very much for such a wonderfully informational post! Frelling-a right! :D [/QUOTE]
