Never been east of Texas and only there once in '79, don't ever plan on going east but never say never I guess.

Even if I was forced to live on the west coast I'm not far from getting away from people and escaping to wide open country, my perception of the east is that isn't so.

My bloodline has always been some of the first in the west, Augusta Archambeau who guided Fremont and Kit Carson, his brother my greatgreatgrandfather who came to California in the 1840s, not to dig gold but grow grapes... and Powell exploring the Colorado.

I'm a westerner and specifically a southwesterner, I imagine I'll die that way.
