When I was released from Navy active duty service at N.A.S Alameda, I gave serious consideration to staying in San Francisco as I loved and still love the Bay area. Only place on the west coast where I think I could live happily. Air temp hereabouts will not get as high as freezing for the next ten days. Overnight actual lows this Wed and Thurs will be - 23 C.(- 9 F)!

Housing prices are outrageous. Also traffic is really bad these days. I'm glad I no longer live there, although I do miss In-N-Out Burgers. ;-) Gene -------------- Original message from "Seth Rosner" <sethrosner@nycap.rr.com>: -------------- > For some unaccountable reasaon, when I think Poland I think cold.
