Have been back to the State I was born in thrice since the early 60's. Doubt I'll make it back again.

Left the county I was raised in since the early 60's in the early 90's, only go back for visits with siblings now. Folks passed a few years ago and only one sibling still lives there, so not many reasons to go back to the zoo that SoCal has become over the years.

Work had me living all across the country, all of those places are better for me now than where I grew up and I'd prefer to visit one or two of them rather the SoCal.

Like renegade, I refuse to fly now and the only thing I can see dragging me into a plane again is the death of a brother too far away for me to drive to in a couple of days.


The desert is a true treasure for him who seeks refuge from men and the evil of men.
In it is contentment
In it is death and all you seek
