    I like it here very much, BUT I do miss these 5 and more from California:
    1. Going to Ralph's Supermarket and having a very wide selection of California wine, not too expensive, to choose from.
    2. Going to Togo's for a Tuna-Cheese-Avocado sandwich on a wheat roll.
    3. Great ethnic restaurants like Thai-Vietnamese-Mexican-Indian-Japanese.
    4. Being able to drive to mountains-desert-sea in less than 2 hrs.
    5. Seeing my son and daughter occasionally for dinner.

Sec. disability system , boy oh boy do I miss them.
