"...why can't San Francisco afford to clean the poop off the sidewalks? Why is there even any in the first place???"San Francisco has been considered city of freedoms etc. Maybe they need more government enforced rules about poop.
Love it when it snows
Nothing quiets things down like a nice blanket of snow. The roof is muffled, and the forest too. But I think there may be even more going on. Doesn't snow often here, but every time it sure does seem like the power is cleaner. For sure the listening is better.

nonoise, that and other reasons is why we left TX behind us...:( When we 'got to TX as fast as we could' in '91, Houston was staggering back onto it's feet. It was (in some ways) a relief from the S.F./Bay area which was exploding and imploding at the same time. Silicone Fever...when it was new, it was exciting as is any 'rush'. ;) What's become of the beloved "City by the Bay" isn't pretty, and we surfed the initial shock waves Out. It shocked our friends, our employers..."We can't live here anymore....too much of Anything isn't good in the long run...." The same with Houston...visited friends in '18, looked around once again...*sighed*, and felt relieved we'd again dodged a sort of weird bullet that we recognize it's 'approach'. I was born and 'raised' (in many ways) in L.A. and those environs...*S* It's still 'home', but in '76 I took this song to heart.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLAuzVb-C_o Haven't regretted that move, either...;) (Read the comments...Yup....*S*...and J.J.W's lyrics spell it out better than I could or can, even now...) "Born to Run"? Well, I guess, kinda...We've stopped now....getting too tired and old for 'one more go at it'.... And here, at the edge of the Blue Ridge is still nice enough to sit 'n stay. Do what we do...until we can't. *S* May y'all be so lucky, if you find yourselves in what you'd consider the same for you and yours; ;) |
