Having travelled all over the country in the last 5 or 6 years, I have thought about what's important to me and how that should be reflected in my life. I love the redwoods and ocean, but Eureka is basically kind of isolated. I spend most of my time in the city, where fortunately I own a small house.
Now comes the opportunity to sell that house, and I have been in contact with a realtor in a coastal town in Oregon, and I managaed buy a house up there, where I am planning to relocate to permanently. I am moving all my junk up there at the end of next month, and then maybe visiting some relatives in Portland. My main worry has been that once I start living there 24/7, the rainy weather will bug me too much, so I started looking at other web sites like Sperling's Best Places. Its not too shocking that most people on the website think where they live is 1) really OK or 2) Sucks . Here is an excerpt : "This is a beautiful coastal piece of heaven. It is often raining and grey throughout the winter months. Best time to visit for the best weather is in August and September."
Ok, so I read that and think where would it not be raining and grey in winter? I mean I have spent the winter months in New Jersey, North Carolina(worse blizzard in 30 years), Georgia(where it snowed 3 inches!), Nevada, California...all have spells of rain, snow and grey...well except for southern California. It gets a small fraction of the weather northern California gets.
