Yep, no more Hewlett-Packard garages in California.

We'll take 'em. Toyatas, Kias, and Benz's, too.

It'll be all agricultural. Fruits and Nuts!

back-to-back meetings and every night in a different state.
But your 10-15 minutes is probably at 90mph

In much of California electricity is mega-out for anything other than
lighting and stuff. Unless they get special deals new owners of electric
cars may be in for a rude awakening. Once you exceed a paltry baseline
quantity of kWh the price skyrockets. Which is also rather business
hostile because a li'l garage start-up shop might send the electric bill
right through the roof.
Which is why Intel is expanding here (Ocotillo Campus) and shrinking
in Californica.
The Folsom campus 10 miles from here isn't shrinking AFAIK.
But Chandler sure is something special. I was visiting a company there
and right behind the building was a rather massive runway. We have that
as well, a few hundred feet from the house. But building something like
that in CA today is something I can't imagine right now.
10-15 minutes from my place. Next time you come, let me know and
we'll sip a few.

Great! I look forward to meeting you!
Pre-'94 we lived north of Phoenix... for 25 years... I avoid moving
;-)
We built this house because the kids were all grown and the old ranch
(literally) was all bedrooms and little entertainment space.
This house is about 20% larger, still has ~180 sq.ft. secondary
bedrooms (3), and the master suite is approximately 60' x 20' (whole
east side of the house), ...
Wow! Ours isn't quite as big but almost (whole north side of the house).
I never really understood why master bedrooms have to be that huge.
Sometimes I wondered whether I could swap and put the office and lab in
there but I guess that wouldn't fly with SWMBO
... still leaving a 22' x 22' Great Room and a
dining room large enough to manage a 10' granite table
16' ceilings (flat, not cathedral) make it look even larger.
And the "little" kitchen
http://tinyurl.com/4blqcaw
I think the counters and the glass table would need a major clean-up. My
wife would have a hissy fit if I left the kitchen that cluttered.
Those high ceilings were never my kind of thing. Reminds me too much of
old hospital rooms in Europe. But in your case the top ledge makes it
look nice. Wood be the perfect spot to store file boxes, boat anchor
scopes and such
Here's half of our kitchen:

The other half is double-oven, lots of deep cabinets, fridge, pantry,
table with chairs and so on.

We had something like that in Germany, the fronts were matching the
kitchen cabinets. Now we've got one of those huge All-American
fridge/freezers with icemaker and water. Plus a chest freezer downstairs.
I like open spaces, too, except in offices. Since the advent of this
glorious VoIP (on the other side, I will not touch that) phone calls
occasionally get to be as difficult as overseas calls 30+ years ago. Got
to close the door then, otherwise they remain all open.
