Born Here, From Here-- who cares! There is life out of California, different to be sure, but life indeed. Recently, spent time in New Mexico and in Oregon and was remembering John Steinbeck words from "Travels with Charley" reminding us that: "there is no life on the interstate." During a cross state sojourn he drove Rocinante (his cool truck) and met people (real Americans) as he drove and stopped at back road spots. During his time, the box super-stores and McMansions were not a pervasive and insidious blight on the fluorescent saturated landscape. What he could easily find by slowing down is still available. Try it, "How one thing is done is how all is done."
We live in paradise and in the best of times- feel and know that.
It is an honor to be here now. Easy? Hell no, but what are viable alternatives? Difficult can be fine....
