Ch-Ch-Changes!
Why "Humboldt Townie". Maybe a blog I should've started with, but when I was introduced to this blog site I wasn't sure what I was doing. Now I do.
I moved to California in 1990, I have since lived up in the Bay Area and down in LA and have been to all parts since. However, one part I have never been to was north of the Golden Gate. Humboldt County. If you heard of it you know it is known for one thing...pot. About two years ago I quit my job (before I got laid off) and went back to school to get my degree in Education. (Why I didn't have my degree in the first place is a long story.) Well over a year ago I found this lovely college with the cheapest admission prices in the U.S. (Why I didn't come here in the first place is a longer story.)
I am originally from Missouri, and even with my background with farms and backwoodsmen didn't prepare me for where I am today. Arcata, the name of the town I live in, was a thriving farming and loggers community right up till the last 60's/early 70's. Then, came the hippies, and the rest is history. The town is very political, very Anti-Bush, or Anti anything that the town doesn't agree with. It's kinda refresing to live in such a liberal, free-thininking town after drowning in superfluous, passive/agressive, fantasy crap of Beverly Hills. A stench that is still lingering on my nicer clothes.
The people I have met up here have been interesting. I think my intro to the town will always be the highlight. I was walking to a mini-mart when a old man with a long beard walked in behind me. His clothes were old and ripped up, and he clearly smelled of cannabis. Anyway, the guys fills up on candy bars and chips and rides off. The casher then turns to me and says "There goes your city councilman." Welcome to Humboldt.

May I simply just say what a comfort to discover somebody who really understands what they're discussing on the internet. You certainly understand how to bring a problem to light and make it important. More people must look at this and understand this side of the story. It's surprising you aren't more popular since you most certainly possess the gift.

My developer is trying to convince me to move
to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses.
But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using WordPress on several websites for about a year and am concerned about switching to another platform.
I have heard good things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer all
my wordpress posts into it? Any help would be really appreciated!
