One of my answers to the ever obvious "Wow, you're tall. How tall are
you?"
is "tall enough to reach the ground"

 Lisa does the same thing, only when people ask her how tall she
is,  they're saying, "Wow, you're short" (only, of course, they never
say that part) She always says "Tall enough for both feet to reach the
ground"

that would be about it :)
I've always found it funny that programmers can write the program to do
what
you want, but then can't ever seem to tell you how to run it so you get
what
you want.

. . . then get P**'s at you for asking how to get what they claim you
can get from it "I don't have any trouble" is their most common
response, said in a snotty "what a waste of skin you are" tone of voice.
Engineers are a breed apart, regardless of what they're engineering

I've wondered about that. Feared it might be too far south ... 
I suspect further up the coast would be perfect.. Oregon, Washington...
fog. I love fog... and oceans and mountains. And the air... boy I still
think of the smell of cedar :)
I'd miss the snow though

You can get plenty of snow in Oregon and Washington, just stay out of
the deserts and off the coast. You don't have to go very far up the
mountains to have the smell of cedar, fogs in spring and autumn
(especially autumn) and snow for months. There are mountains on the
coast - Mount Olympia in Peuget Sound isn't even volcanic.
