True, I've heard there is quite a housing crisis on the west coast.  If 
I could move anywhere, it would be south and warm.  I'm not digging the 
3-4 inches of snow that we got throughout the past day... 10 inches a 
week ago.  Otherwise, we are blessed in the greater Pittsburgh region 
that there really aren't any natural disasters.  No tornadoes, 
hurricanes, earth quakes, etc.
