I am so happy I don't live in generica...

Yes, you are lucky. Downtown is so great, such diversity. People truly express
themselves in town. I feel so lucky to have selected Austin and the area to make our
home. I could not have planned it better than it is.

On the other hand, my mother lives on the Atlantic Ocean on the east end of Long Island
(where it is breathtaking and the nesting cite of osprey), but I don't know that I could
go back up to the 21 inches of snow she got three days ago. Brrrrr is what I say at 70!
