Well actually, I'm a girl (check out my home page to find out about my Christian romance novels), and my husband grew up in Fresno and my dad came from Stockton. Believe it or not I actually like it and I love California. Besides, Fresno's the home of FreeRepublic! Don't worry, I'll be OK... we bought a house up in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. Thanks for your concern!
Oops - sorry about the gender wrongness. At least you'll know what you're getting into though. After all, it IS Fresno!
