i moved 'back home' some 23 yrs ago, from a 25 yr stay in Sacramento. i missed the Rockies the whole time i was gone. life here sucks. my family doesn't like me (or each other, mostly), the economy is palid, we're a tourist town and i think that corrupts the morals of most business people. vacation houses in every view....

still, they will have to pry the door knob out of my cold dead hand ~!! i will tolerate social and service deprivations for the view of "my mountains". and the isolation has done wonders for my spiritual development. always look for the good in things that you can't do anything about (it might be the "Friendly Universe" bringing you what you need).
