Lovely climate - 7/29/2007
I admit I miss a stronger delineation of seasons, but there is a lot to be said for the climate here. It's rarely unbearably hot and it's never bitterly cold.

In summer, anything not watered by humans is brown and dead, but there's a positive side: it's not humid enough here to support lots of mosquitos and the like.

The high cost of earthquake insurance - 3/7/2007

Sunnyvale, California - 6/23/2006
It is in the heart of Silicon Valley. Many of the Hi-Tech companies are located in this area. Moffett field and Lockheed are about 15 minutes away in the city of Mountain View. I am surrounded by the cities of Cupertino and Santa Clara.

This area used to be orchards. Many wonderful fruit grew here.

Sunnyvale is about 30 minutes away from Stanford University in Palo Read More
