Hi there from up near Seattle .... and I’m a Northern California native that transplanted up north. Grew up in the Sierra Nevada foothills when Rocklin was a town of 1500 that had never heard of Hewlett-Packard or Intel. A lot of my family still lives in Grass Valley, Auburn, Folsom, Chico, Oroville ... whereabouts are you from?
