Ha! My parents still live in Orange County, and they swear I'm no longer their son... Bought a Jeep, bought a gun, live on some land, drove in the snow, etc. Haha. At least south Orange County where I grew up is basically a very crowded version of Colorado, but with no snow... Even the Orange County Register was started by the family that ran the Gazette.
But all that aside, I must say I really like being here a lot more!
