Well, James what a surprise. I grew up in Oceanside (for the most part). I graduated from El Camino High.

Thanks for all the welcomes. Very nice of you all.

I do miss Cali. But not so much as to move back and deal with the politics.

Great site. Very informative.

Thanks again.

Do I win anything for lurking so long? How about one of those Military Box Pleated kilts that are just lying around out there? Athletic cut please (the preferred term for skinny).

Welcome from Eastern Washington State. Really it's more work to learn to use a sewing machine than to do the work by hand. It is faster on a machine; but not quite as accurate.
