Just thought this might give us a chance to get to know a little more about each other.

I was born in Minnesota and grew up on a farm in South Dakota and went to school in a town of 250 there. I loaded up my car when I was 19 and move to Los Angeles for 4 years. Then to Colorado 19 years ago.

I was born in Paradise, California and grew up in Chico, a few miles away. I've been in Colorado for the last 30 years though, so I don't think of myself as a californicator.

Paradise is much like Bailey. It is in the foothills, there are lots of trees, outcroppings, etc., but the dirt is red and the elevation is about 6000 feet lower.
It is kinda cool saying you were born in "Paradise", but it makes me feel like I should have a silver spoon or something.
