I am just musing here. If it comes across as me being sad about things, I am not at all sad or depressed. Consider this as a thought experiment. Einstein did a lot thought experiments considering scientific notions that no one else had before. I am no Einstein, just a guy in thought. A man has to consider his options no matter how big or small. Once in a while something new comes from thoughtful consideration, especially when done before drinking beer. Although I have made some decisions when under the anfluence of inkcohol.
I don't like dark days. I don't like it when it rains on my parade. I don't like storms and the damage they do.
I suppose I should live in Arizona or the eastern side of the mountains in California, but I don't like tremendous heat. Maybe Canada, but I don't like heavy snow and super cold. I could live in the deep south, but it is too hot, humid, buggy and I don't care to have alligators in my yard and hurricanes rolling through on a regular basis. The north east is far too cold and expensive for me.
The best climate anywhere is San Diego and more specifically Coronado. I lived there on two occasions decades ago and it was the closest thing to heaven I have ever experienced. Now it is so expensive I could not afford to live there. Beside that, Coronado is barely above sea level and with climate changes that will cause rising sea levels Coronado will be under water. Coronado was at one time called Coronado island because as the tides rose and fell it was an island. It took a lot of fill soil to create what they call the silver strand making it a peninsula. Once it becomes a permanent island or under water it will be far less desirable. The navy has an aircraft carrier pier there and the north island air station both of which will become unusable in years to come. Perhaps it will become like Venice in Italy, that might be nice.
There are many factors that go into a decision of where to live. Most of my life I had no choice of where I laid down my head at night. I suppose the biggest factor now is income. I can't afford a lot of places and as I wrote above weather conditions limit my desire of where to live. I like where I am right now and while it is not perfect, it seems to be the most suitable. It appears once again that I do not have a lot of choice on where I lay my head at night. It's a good thing I like where I am, but a man always has to have a dream. Where did I put those lottery tickets?
Where did I put those lottery tickets?
