Oh dear and around Xmas too!! "Please provide Lord". I got an email from another Californian the other day who said her daughter had just been laid off from a "professional position" and that Job prospects were not good. California sure didn't need ANOTHER term of Gray Davis - he's an absolute disaster for finances of your State. What State has the most robust economy at the moment? Whichever it is you should consider moving there. My own personal opinion is that California has got some tough times ahead.
