Joined a couple days ago, but work has kept me busy until now. I’m looking forward to a good experience here. Everybody stay safe! ---

Welcome aboard. Whereabouts in California are you located? You might check out the Southwest forum for local events and such once you get situated. ---

I’m in Visalia, about an hour north of Bakersfield and south of Fresno. Thanks for the welcome! ---

I grew up in Fresno from the 5th grade until 2004. My mom still lives there. What do you do in Visalia? ---
