Gee, I didn't mean to start a geography war. The best or worst places to live
are a matter of personal opinion just like everything else. I think in my case
familiarity bred contempt. After 40+ years in Southern California, I'm sick of
the color brown. Everything here is brown--the dirt, the plants, the air, the
birds, the animals... I'm also not impressed by perpetual sunshine. I like
weather. At least it's not too bad up here in the mountains--it actually snowed
one day. And I did see a blue bird, a jay I believe.
The people are pretty nice here at my brother's but I have to wander down into
the flatlands where I'm in danger of being run over by monster trucks. Just
today, two people endangered themselves and me to show me their contempt for me,
my car, my driving, I don't know what. There's too much hostility in this area
for me.
And I haven't seen another British car the entire time I've been here.

I carry a gallon of water and dump it over the radiator with the car runnning if
it gets too bad. I've only been back here since December so today was the first
bad day. After a few stoplights, the car ran consistently at 200F, but no
higher so I didn't have to perform my water trick. I plan to leave before
summer gets really bad.

In July when my mother had a heart valve replaced. I knew she was fully
recovered when she threw me out. I'm now deciding where to live next. Any
suggestions?
