@downandlonely

I've never been to either, yet, but I'm guessing their kind of different. Do you still have family in WV?

I'm in so need of a road trip. Would explore CA first. There's things here I haven't seen yet. Not really have a destination. Just go have an adventure. Whenever I go to TX & WV, what are places you'd recommend checking out.

@BethRags

Nice to 'meet' someone from my general area. Is that your kitty? They're adorable.

No, that one isn't mine- but I have 5 that are just as cute

Are you getting any smoke in Ukiah?

I have two kitties & two small senior doggos. All adopted from the shelter where I volunteer. I appreciate fellow animal lovers. There was a little smoke yesterday due to a car fire around Willits. Last year we had the August Complex fire & smoky skies for several days. Including it being orange.

What led you to Chile? When I hear, wine country, I think of Napa & Sonoma. I suppose there are other places that have them as well. I'm not a big wine drinker. Don't drink much alcohol at all. But, originally being from Sebastopol, I'm aware of the industry in that county & Napa.

Lakes & greenery sound lovely. I appreciate the hills & trees we have here. The lake has gotten so dry here. After several years of drought. I still go there. It's not as pretty as it was, so I don't take as many photos. I still find it calming & serene.

Smaller towns are my preference for living. Though I do want to visit some cities. I'd like to go to the South by Southwest Festival. Have you ever been?

I understand. Some places I share the town (like on Facebook) & other places I just give a general location. An actual cave would be lovely sometimes. The thought of it, anyway. Have you ever gone spelunking?

I live in a studio. Most of my neighbors in this complex are migrant workers. Now I'm wondering if they consider it a barrio.

I’m from a city near Albany, New York

I moved around to a few different states throughout my life but ended up moving back here like 6 years ago

Nope, I’m nearly stone deaf so paying the prices they charged was ridiculous. But I did go to the Eeyore party most years.

I can relate. Not the IN part, lol. I've only lived in a few towns in NorCal. I'd like to visit other places, but for living, I like this area just fine.

At 54, I made a huge change in my life. I moved from LA County in Calif alone to a small 8000 population town in central Ky where I bought my small 10 acre farm surrounded by nature. I have my own woods, stream, creek in the back of my farm, a spring & enough field area for my horse. I have never been happier in my life. It was like I had country in my blood my whole life & I am getting to enjoy the last half of my life living where I am happy. (Plus I have the best farm neighbors I could ever have)
I wanted to comment about Leo. Sounds like he was a good companion. They're only in our lives a short time, but forever in our minds & hearts. I have four furbabies & they mean the world to me.

Except for about six years in the suburbs, I've mostly lived in smaller towns, rural areas. I love it. I have a good friend that is from SoCal. He was born in 61 & lived there for 30 years. He said he liked it then, but he doesn't think he would now.

The way you're living now seems like it would be quite calming & serene. I would like a bit of land. A big reason is so I can seriously get into rescue. I've been wanting to do that for much of my life. I'd also like to have a garden, fruit trees, chickens for eggs & goats for milk & cheese. They would also be rescues, besides kitties & doggos. I want to be able to look out my window & see nature. Instead of the other apartment building across the way, cars, people, etc.
