Hey Dena and Cindy,
Thanks for reminding me of that position, I will be applying there, and
anywhere else, smile, that I can apply to, and will see who bites, smile,
and if I can live in the areas that are hiring.
Even if it is in the south or southwest, smile, as a lot of the jobs are.
I do not like humidity and extremely hot weather and neither does my dog.
But we can adapt right, with a place that actually has air conditioning as a
necessity and not a "luxury" smile.
I have friends near Paulo Alto, but would of course love any comments on the
area, I am still applying and who knows.
Maybe you all will convert me to be a California girl, would make being near
GDB a lot easier in case I need anything, and it is a nice area, accessible
if I am not mistaken by Cal Train and the like.
But we shall send them everywhere.

Dog ownership is like a rainbow.
Puppies are the joy at one end.
Old dogs are the treasure at the other.
