Nice pics... camera?

Olympus C-4000. I forgot my polarizer and such, so they're not a saturated as I would like. But still came out pretty cool.

Man, if I lived on the beach, I would never move inland.

I feel for ya...moved from California to Florida to...Connecticut

 

[radioouman]

I'd never leave the beach either.

Man, I know you've got a great opportunity in Denver but fuggin' HB is like paradise....aside from all those damned trendy people.

 

[aplefka]

Well, you could always move back after you get enough money and stuff.

Also, NutBucket, you're 13377

DON'T MOVE, you will regret it!

I moved 80 miles from the beach and it sucks here. I'm dreaming of the day I can move back. 1,000+ miles would be hell.

I already regret it.

But $60k a year supporting a family of 4 is nowhere near enough to buy a house in SoCal. At least, not one I'd actually want to live in.

So, the plan is move to Denver. Rent for a year while I get my FICO score back up after letting the wife pay the bills (grrr...) and then buy a house for >$200k. Stay for 4-5 more years and hope the value goes up signifigantly, or longer to just build equity, then use the difference to get a house back here in SoCal.

I'll miss surfing and the girls and the city and the beach and whatnot, but I'll survive for the time it takes to get my sh!t back together.
