Thanks.  We used to subscribe to the Journal and the T-S and still read 
them online.  I've seen the Humguide, too.  We've been doing our 
homework since 2002.

Why?  Where to start?  Our youngest finished college and we don't have 
to stay here anymore.  We don't like it here.  WAAY to conservative, too 
many rednecks, nasty climate, allergies, etc., etc.  Directions here are 
entirely 'faith based'.  "Ya go up to St. Betty's Parish and take a 
left.  Then ya go to where St. Fred's used to be, afore it burnt down, 
and take a right... "  I could go on and on.

We lived in the SF area from '81 - '94, until I got laid off.  We moved 
here for the usual practical reasons:  affordable housing, family nearby 
(a mixed blessing), but it didn't take long for us to wish we were back 
amongst like minded people.  We're homesick.  I know HC isn't the Bay 
Area, but we have visited and expect to like it even better than SF.  We 
intend to stay.

I have worked for Hamilton County (OH) for the past eight years and 
would probably do well with Humboldt County gov't.  Thanks for the tip.
