Question Where do you live?

Just to get a geographic sense of the PC Mech population, vote for where you currently live and post a state, province, etc. and why you like it there.

For me, California USA. The weather is great! (Well, most of the time )

I beg to differ Jim, parts of Saskatchewan are officially labled as desert territory by rainfall stats.

Surrounded by the Pacific Ocean in Honlulu, Hawaii. Weather is pretty much the same all year round. Nice place, but getting crowded .

Long Beach, Mississippi, USA. Weather is great, a little on the hot side for some people (lol, it's currently 72, with an overnight low of 63, coldest it's gonna get in the next week is a low of 40) , 3 miles from the world's largest man-made beach and the Gulf of Mexico, fishing here is great, people are nice and friendly for the most part. All in all, I love it here. This is HOME, everywhere else is a nice place to visit!

I live in Northern California. Other consider San Fran in Northern Cali, but I'm 300 and some odd miles north of there on the coast, in Eureka. It sucks, no jobs, poorest county in Cali. Dont come here unless you're looking to farm marajuana.
