I remember those days when I lived in SanDiego. It makes me glad that I
moved to
a small town like Harrisonburg Va. My wife and I both work for the same
Company
on the same shift (2 days on 2 off, 3 on weekends, 7 working days out of
every 2
weeks). Best of all it is only one mile to work. Big citys? you can have
them :).
