Blame it on a big Heron BEG, they used to steal my neighbors fish
out of a small "pond" in the front of their house in Sarasota. They had
to constantly replace them.  :-)

We named the great blue heron Ichabod that, for awhile, used to hang out near our pond.

There are no fish in our pond, but there are a boatload of frogs - some big 'uns at that.

But Ichabod hasn't been around in awhile. I think Belle, our golden retriever, scared him off. Belle would wander around in the back yard, not even notice Ichabod, and off he'd fly - damn thing was so big he looked like a pterodactyl.

Wait...BEG you are moving to  California?  Please take my advice and reconsider, been here on and off the last 24 years and I am looking to leave permanently and ASAP for AZ, UT, NV or CO.  Things are bad and about to get a lot worse in the "Golden State".

I have no choice Jake, we either move or my husband doesn't have a job.  I have already been given the same advice you gave me by other members of this board but when you are at the level my husband is at (he is VP of Product Development) there aren't that many jobs out there for someone in his position.  Also the business he is in is VERY small so he would have to go into a different type of work most likely.   I know it is going to suck but when the job market gets better he will have more options.  They are being very good to him (well besides making us move to CA) and have really went above and beyond to make sure he accepted the relocation.

When you have three kids (one in college) it isn't so easy just to say screw it to a job and possibly be out of work for god knows how long.

LOL SR we have had several Heron attacks since we had the pond.  One not too long ago, the heron got our disabled fish we named Blinky.  Blinky had been attacked before by a Heron but survived, only to live with a crippling injury to his tail.  You should have seen how that poor fish "swam".  It's no wonder that a heron got him again.

I can still pee in the pool because the fish are in the POND.

I don't think the job market in CA is going to improve for a very long time. Thye GOP is probably going to cave and let them raise taxes. How is that going to help any job market, except for other states? or India?
