Leaving a penny at the grave means simply that you visited. A nickel indicates that you and the deceased trained at boot camp together, while a dime means you served with him in some capacity. By leaving a quarter at the grave, you are telling the family that you were with the soldier when he was killed.

Well Phan you taught me something. I had never heard of the practice.
Of course I don't visit cemeteries so I guess that is understandable.

Well I've never seen "real" snow. It did snow here once many years ago, the roads froze and everything, for a few days, but that was it. As far as the real thing with piles of snow, never seen it.

The ocean is nice, but you can get the same peaceful feeling from looking at any body of water, really.

Except for Bakersfield and Fresno.... :)

I literally have lived on the entire coast of California. Well, not specifically in San Fransicko, but just north and south of it.

I grew up on the Central Coast and currently reside in San Diego.

After living overseas and in Hawaii I am actually thinking of settling in the north coast. Though I am wee bit concerned about the cold weather. However, I can buy a virtual mansion there and a heater :cool:

It is nice, however, the traffic and cost of living is ridiculous. IMO.

Want to go out to eat on the weekend?... Say hello to at least an hour, most likely two hour wait.

If I retire in, we'll years away :(, I would probably strongly consider Maui. Less expensive than Ohau, less city offerings of course, but probably doable.

I was tired of isolation, Hawaii is nice to visit, but I love being able to jump in a car and go. Alaska and Hawaii are limited in where you can drive.
