dang, there are so many things i miss about SoCal (was in SD and La Jolla), but the brain-dead drivers trying to run me over---whether i was on bicycle or motorcycle---i will never miss. but everything else, yeah, life was good there... fresh avocados, baja-mex food, karl strauss; the list goes on. i don't have much love for SJ, even though my grandma lived there until recently; but SF is fun.

on the other hand, the deadly freeze not withstanding, ithaca is such a bicycle-friendly town. i really like that aspect. we're moving to Oregon soon (Eugene); and from what i've read, my cycling life will only get better. Halelujah!
