folks make me feel bad, left CA 13 years ago and not going back. Wish there were jobs in my field in WY, I would never have left. See, some of the CA migrants are actually refugees.

I keep wondering whwnver the mass layoffs happen where I'd end up. I hope here, Idaho or texas but never know. Suppose after a year LFW I'd consider CA but would have to leave a safe with family here...
