	I'm not sure where to post this so I'll try here first.
If anyone has any suggestions on where to post it to get more
responses, please tell me.
	I'll be looking for a new job in the next couple of
years. And to keep me interested I'm looking at different loca-
tions around the country(USA). I've narrowed it down to the west.
I'll tell you what I'm looking for--temperate climate(no snow,
temperatures don't often go below around 40 in the winter, pleasant
summers-I'm attempting to avoid hot, muggy weather), close to
ski areas in the winter(within 4 hours), good engineering type
jobs(but not in military applications), and proximity to good
hiking/backpacking areas, and a nice sized city. I'd like all
this and a reasonable cost of living. 
	So far the front runner has been the Bay area(of course).
But as we all know the cost of living is far from moderate. Other-
wise the Bay area is absolutely perfect. I lived there for a year;
I know.
	Now the exercise for you all is to name other places
that meet my requirements. Let's just call this an exercise in
operations research. I figure you people out there can give me
some help since you are from all over the place.
			Thanks for any info!
