Like the UF451 supports..."its them not us". I don't know abou the rest of you but just look at the way the Valley has been build int he last 20 years! I can't think of a single (if you would call it) neighborhood east of downtown San Jose with any sembelance of a "town center area" with the exception of a shopping mall. I'm so glad that smaller towns in the valley have done something of creating a good space to hang out, socalize, meet people and have art festivals.If you expect to do the single job, 9-5 with the kids in public school full time in this area, you are in for a lot. > > > : They wait apart in waning day, |meow I don't use no smilies. > > Do you purrr? > > : the flare of crimson fades to gray. | smjames@my-dejanews.com > > Have you seen the somog in Silly Icon Valley of late ?
