There is also a whole country of places to live in for those who don’t want to embrace change when their neighborhoods feel a societal pressure to do so. They can live in whatever …

Hoping to start a thread talking about this. Anyone read Richter 10 by Arthur C Clarke. Where California broke away from the mainland. Think anything in our lifetime will ever matc…

Which county is that please? If you don’t mind sharing.

Gosh I forget the name of the airfield at the moment but by any chance was it near the Clearlake suburb of Houston (Hobby perhaps?) I used that airfield to get to Bush internationa…
