A few of my favorite Fresno things...

I blogged yesterday on the ranking of cities by "sustainability" from the group called SustainLink, and got a nice comment posted from Ben Reebs of that organization. He suggested checking out a blog by Warren Karlenzig, who managed the study for the group. I did. It's interesting. Here's the link. Thanks, Ben.

Mr. Reebs also asked what I liked about living in Fresno. We've all been through this exercise, but I've never done it in this interactive venue. So why not?

This is hardly my exhaustive list, but two things have always been at the top. I like the people here. There is less affectation than I've found in the Bay Area and Los Angeles, the other two places in California I've lived.

I like the weather. I've only ever spent two winters in places -- Missouri and Japan -- that can be said to have real winters. You can have it. The thing I like best about the snow up in the Sierra Nevada -- after the water it provides us -- is the fact that it's two hours away.

What's on your list? Share it with us.
