Hi Mike! Long time...

Yea, to those in SD it's probably a different way of life and scenery. But it really is an unbelievable opportunity. I'm only tied to it for two years at most. When I went on the interview it seemed a lot like Western Ks. Flat as hell. Hot. But much closer to the things that interest me.

The cost of living overall in Fresno is about 9% higher than KCMO. Housing is a wash. Fuel/utilities are comparable. Food is much higher. (On average 18% higher).

But I'm not moving a family. Just me. And I can deal with the idea of having LA/SF and the Central Coast within a 2.5/3 hour drive.

I go back this week. Start Oct 24th.
