Here in CA. the central valleys air has gotten worse tha S.F. and L.A. and because clovis sits along the foothills of the sierras, it's a hot spot. Their talking about banning fireplaces. Luckly I live in the foothills on some acerage. In town all new construction limits 1 fireplace per 5 ac. and lots average 1.25 ac.(go figure). Their going try to start regulations on Diesels, and revisit the rulling on pre-74' vehicles being exempt. Of course my vehicles of choice are:<br>65' Plymouth<br>73' Bronco<br>99' 2500 TD<br>The reg. fees are expected to triple in Jan.<br>And their selling more of our water to L.A.<br><br>Had to vent a little, we've got a couple of years, our Gov. will spend more $$$ passing new laws better spent on the problem.<br>Arizona is looking better all the time.

Hi Wade, Just where do you live? My family and I lived in Fresno for 10 years then picked up two acres west of clovis, out on Del Ray Ave. and built a house, then in 71 sold it and moved to Canada, Red Deer Alberta Canada that is. I still have a friend that lives up in Auberry. In fact we were just down there for a visit last Sept/01.

Wade,<br><br>I left Fresno in September '72 when I joined the Air Force. Went back maybe 5 times in 30 years. Mom &amp; Dad have already passed away. I have two sisters still living there with their families. Otherwise, there's nothing there for me. The only thing I still miss is the fresh grapes and huge peaches in September.

Well now !!! I can say that along with the grapes and peaches, I missed persimmons, Almonds, English walnuts, Oranges, Dates, figs and all the other goodies.

And I joined the Air Force in Penna, spent 4 years stationed at Castel Air Force Base west of Atwater.

How things get turned around...................
