Dennis, you got that right!
I work over the hill in Cupertino but live in the hills
cause I just could not bring myself from Texas in '92
and live in the cramped quarters of the "civilization"
around San Jose. The only drawback so far is
the occasional 60 to 90 inches of rain and wondering if the
hill will slide behind the house and trying to slide under
the random redwood trees on route 9 or Bear Creek Rd
once in a while. But I much prefer it over here.
Plus it is great for Harley riding.
