Relocating to LA for a bit.

I have to go down to LA for a bit and do some work, and so won't be on the web much for the next few days. If you want to see what's happening in LA these days, LA Craigslist seems to be really hopping.

It's too bad there isn't that much work available in Santa Barbara. It's so beautiful I can't believe it. But most of the people here are either seniors who have retired, or students at the gorgeous colleges here. The "newly wed and nearly dead" they call it. Neither group does much business, or what they do they don't do here. The only thing booming here right now is real estate, and working on houses in general. Web design certainly isn't happening these days.

But I'll be back. I lived here for many years during the seventies and eighties, and it's much nicer than I remember it. In fact, the nicest place to live I've ever seen. I didn't appreciate it back then since I hadn't seen as many different places. But now I have and can appreciate what a wonder it is. Maybe make the money in LA, or travel there some, but it'd be worth it to live here.

If you want to see what's happening in Santa Barbara these days, try the SB Independent. a weekly paper, and the SB News Press, the local daily. You won't believe the real estate prices. Highest in the country I hear.
