There's actually quite a few coogs up there :flushed: Seen like 4 in 2 days, most driven by (college age) females :cool:

Crusin' at 80mph on the way home from Chico was all good..

then came the smoke + shaking steering wheel + loud ass noises = http://forums.off-topic.net/images/smilies/thumbsdown.gif
First thing we saw when we pulled off to the side of the road... (It was already there, we didnt hit it)

How in the world is your rent so much cheaper out there? $350 here would probably get you a one bdrm in a questionable area of town. I thought Cali was suppose to be more expensive.

Well those lofts Mike was looking at were way out there, but $350 I'm still in shock. custom_images/emoticons/shocked.gif

Looks like you had fun on way home tho.:biggrin: Poor bird tho :(

$350 is just what Viz is paying... there are 3 of them so the rent is $1050 per month for a town house. still not bad but then it is Chico... like the arm pit of northern cali...

I also want to know why there isn't snow on the ground in those pics! Dang we can't be having all the fun with all these stupid winter storms!

This area gets maybe 2-3 snow falls a winter, heck we had two last week. Just got 4-5 last night and expect another one Wednesday. :cry:

Snow? :confused:

Hey Viz.. after you showed me that pic last night.. I had a really fawked up dream.. only part I can remember is driving down the freeway and swerving to avoid a dead owl. :flushed:

And Mary, Chico is middle-of-nowhere, CA. Any place in CA in the middle of nowhere is A) Too hot during the summer and B) As cheap as or cheaper than the rest of the country. :tongue:

I hear ya... if you are 4 miles from the ocean anywhere in Cali, it is hella hot in the summer...

So Benicia in norcal = Riverside in socal?:confused: does it have lots of cows, lots of redneck Bush lovers, and a college?
