**Cnote** - thanks!

I can hardly wait for the report back on this fest – especially what you ate and how much snow you really get.

The St. Cloudians I met were a hardy bunch – **no one** complained about the winter weather. They all seemed quite proud of having made accommodations to it and adapting their lifestyle around winter activities, like skiing, snowmobiling, ice fishing, etc.

Wish I could have seen more of the town. My nephew recently moved to nearby Sartell (sp?), and the new house he bought would have cost him at least $20,000 more down here, in a much smaller town. (But your taxes are higher?)

I also heard that there are 6,000 more jobs than there are people. !!

And I heard that St. Cloud has some of the same problems as other booming communities – small businesses being crowded out by the chain stores, for one.

But it sounds like a great place to live. Hope your city planners are on their toes.
