[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1129981, member: 3828"] +1/2 I spent a little of my prior life in Cali, in the north Bay area, while in the USN. I didn't quite get it then, and I'm not really enticed to go back to live. Too many people in most of it. I know there are places away from the maddening throngs, but then you still have to play by their rules. And their rules suck, IMO. I think we all have a fondness for our points of origin, don't we? That is the best way I can explain how (or why?) I would still be located in this dog-forsaken part of the country, where it is excessively expensive to live, with ridiculously brutal winters such as the currently prolonged one. But, I guess there are the family (can't move them all with us) and inertia to blame. Inertia is brutal when you've lived in the same wooden box for the past 25 years. You've collected up all that detritus, what are you gonna do with all of that? Ditch it? And family, especially those family elders that did their best to provide for you, and are still surviving after all these years, it's awfully hard to just walk away from them, I'd guess. We all have our own reasons for living wherever we do. Not always the best logical reasons. Hell sometimes we are conflicted internally about being where we are (and wish we could escape!), but we each make our own choices and then we get to live with them. I wouldn't want it any other way. Me? I'm spying the Carolina mountains for a posible retirement future. Maybe become a neighbor of that guy from Wheaton, Ill. Just so he wouldn't enjoy hisself too much.
