Hello All,
I've got two locations to promote. First, I live in Bend, OR, and if you
don't mind a mild winter, and hot summers, this could be your place. The
town is quite diverse, and there is a great amount of GOOD claywork that
goes on here. For Carolyn's husband, he can telecommute--we have a DS3 line
into town (for those non-computer geeks, this is a REALLY FAT PIPE!
Highspeed internet access that most Big Cities dream of). So, your hubby
could work and you could play in the mud.
Secondly, think about Victoria, BC. The local government is very PRO
internet, and tbe services available will make him smile (my hubby checked
it out, cause he would like to live on a boat in the harbor, and still
manage his internet company, whilst I commute to somewhere like Robin
Hopper's studio in Nanaimo...1/2 hour away... and play in the mud).
Those are my 2 cents worth.
Best to you,
Amy Ramsey

I've been looking for the same sort of place so how about compiling a list
of
the suggestions you get and post them to the list.
Thanks
