I'm not sure where to post this so I'll try here first. If anyone has any suggestions on where to post it to get more responses, please tell me. I'll be looking for a new job in the next couple of years. And to keep me interested I'm looking at different loca- tions around the country(USA). I've narrowed it down to the west. I'll tell you what I'm looking for--temperate climate(no snow, temperatures don't often go below around 40 in the winter, pleasant summers-I'm attempting to avoid hot, muggy weather), close to ski areas in the winter(within 4 hours), good engineering type jobs(but not in military applications), and proximity to good hiking/backpacking areas, and a nice sized city. I'd like all this and a reasonable cost of living. So far the front runner has been the Bay area(of course). But as we all know the cost of living is far from moderate. Other- wise the Bay area is absolutely perfect. I lived there for a year; I know. Now the exercise for you all is to name other places that meet my requirements. Let's just call this an exercise in operations research. I figure you people out there can give me some help since you are from all over the place. Thanks for any info! Sharon Badian

<<bug fixer>> I have a simple solution for you. Chicago has plenty of snow during the winter, it sometimes gets miserably hot and humid in the summer, and it gets VERY COLD in the winter. It sounds like everything you don't want. The solution? Find the place most different from Chicago and live happily ever after. I unfortunately love this town (but I do hate the weather). Good luck.
