Our town is Awesome

We have some friends who are considering moving to our neck of the woods, so I thought I would include Dave's "Objective" review below:

"Lenore told me that there may be an opportunity here for you guys, so I thought I would give an objective review of the city to help you make an informed decision.

To do so however, I knew that I needed some time to think. So I filled up my water bottle with pure Alaskan Himalayan Mountain water (Our city pays Alaska to pipe in water from the Himalayas, so the water can flow down two awesome mountain ranges for uber-purity and clarity, all at no cost to us of course.) I made my way out into the 72 degree fresh morning air, and inhaled deeply. The air instantly cleansed my lungs and oxygenated every cell in my body instantaneously. I have almost come to take the fresh Tahoe air for granted; nearly forgetting about the perfect jet stream above our town that pulls air from 1000 feet above lake Tahoe, speeds it up to nearly the speed of light as it makes a 12 minute trip to the sun and back (for ultimate purification), and then slows perfectly to a pillow-like breeze. The air chimes off of the aveoli of my lungs. As I exhaled, 20 of my bestest friends flocked to share their good tidings and great joys. We all live so close to each other, a product of perfect city planning. We walked the 7 feet to the nearest massage/sports/bakery/health/in-n-out burger, of which there are 10 of in our amazing city. Truly these places just make you feel extreme happiness, second only to the temple that is 5 minutes away.

Then I realized something was missing, that this joy could not be shared by Lenore and I alone. Surely this pseudo Heaven could not be enjoyed without the couple nearest and dearest to our hearts. Can you hear that? No, that is not the sound of angel wings in the soft evening breeze, or the sound of the cutest koala cub in the world...that, my friends, is our town calling. Will you answer?


Here are some pictures from the area, that I took with a $5 key chain camera during my walk:
