Eva, I’m on the other side of the continent….in a small Humboldt County (about an hour south of the Oregon border) town of Blue Lake pop.1200, near Arcata w/ Cal Poly Humboldt (new designation as it used to be Humboldt State Univ & where I worked for 40 yrs) & having a college nearby & redwood forests, Pacific Ocean, lagoons, rivers and bay…a beautiful place, but can be remote & can be entirely cut off (there have been times!) if there are problems with only one north-south highway and one east-west highway. Larger towns/populations are min of 3-4 hours away. But still love it & folks come from around the world to visit. There is a move by AT&T to abandon wired landlines—many folks here cannot access web-based or cell-tower based communications because they can’t get signals, so they would be cut adrift, especially during emergencies. I’ve always wanted to visit the East Coast—well, ALL of America actually—have cousin who is bi-coastal & has lived in NYC for decades (she’s an artist/illustrator who collaborated with Jamie Lee Curtis on a series of children’s books) and always wanted to go visit her and have her show me the sights.
Lived in Berkeley for four years. Did not like that. But Oregon is beautiful Camped on the rogue river. I'm on the end of the electric line so after I sold my final house, I had a generator put in. House, cabin and barn. Blizzard last year. No accumlation this far from Lake Erie. Just snow flying sideways over the pond. For two days, I only went out to refill the birds feeders. Was just ethereal. (the house here is my son's , I'm just the caretaker.) Do you think about the would be dictatator missing all that? Missing life so he can take revenge on all. All because his brother Fred poured mash potatoes over his head while he was being a brat.at the dinner table.
