If you are very wealthy and money is no object there is a beautiful
little town called Soquel. It's about an hour north of San Jose
airport and in the rain forest with huge redwoods, and on the ocean.
Just beautiful. Nice and cool in winter and not horrible in summer.

If you aren't very wealthy I'd say the Austin, TX area is far more
money wise and weather in winter is an average of 65 degrees during
the day with maybe one week of "sort of" freezing, and about one very
short lived ice storm a year.


Soquel is just East of Santa Cruz and way South of San Jose.

Like I said, it's about an hour south of San Jose airport. I go on
retreat there every year in a Buddhist Dharma Center. I drive myself
from the airport to the place and I've been there enough to know where
it is, thanks. I don't think I mentioned anythng abut Santa Cruz.

I have no idea what you just cryptically tried to say. I am from New
York where I lived on the ocean, which is where my mother lives to
this day and I wouldn't move back up there for any reason. Austin is
a hip, young city and its older croud are not put out to pasture. It's
a place full of retired people who think young and are vibrant.

So, please explain in English what you are trying to say.

It's a beautiful place to live. Tons of city parks, bike trails
everywhere, public transportation, plenty of theater and all the
"acts" come through here. We see Carlin, Richard Lewis, Kathy
Griffin, Lion King full production, and there is a great orchestra
which hosts people like Nadia Salerno and there is nothing like he
music scene. We also have more wildflowers along the roads than any
state in the union, ecology minded people including a large gather of
people involved in the "Save Our Springs" project. There are natural
pools of clean water to swim in, amazing sunsets, the largest urban
bat colony in America, great shopping and a population of people, 67
percent which have higher education and of those, half have PhD level
educations.

I love it here. Houses are affordable and beautiful.

An oasis has hookers? If it did and, if I would, after the first several
pitchers of beer, the proposition would be moot any way.

Oh, well no wonder I didn't get it. Baby Bush is born and raised in
Connecticut where he attended grade school and uppity high school.
He's the only one in his family with that dumb accent.
