"Nevada" I think of it all the time. Between Places like Fairfield California, or Nevada
San Francisco’s high rents, Dot com slump, and traffic mess. Has SF lost some of its glittering charm and free spirit?
to me seems like an area for new beginnings.

by Staff Writer Its been running through my mind for months; if I ever left "The City" of San Francisco where would I go? There is New York, where I was born; Berkeley, Oakland, Hayward, Los Angeles, Lovely, rustic Fairfield, or Arizona. All these places have an allure and history but I’m thinking of Nevada, where land is weirdly inexpensive and transplants like me are willing to seek isolation, for the sake of creative fire –just might be my last chance to live free. Gambling in Reno does not interest me, quiet lonesome mountains, trees, big sky where stars are seen in all their brilliance, and the best asset near absolute quiet. Careers-jobs as telephone line-workers, "walking Iron" on high rise building sites welders, glassblowing, painters, sculpture, or writers. Open land, a large home, garage, swimming pool, gym, basement and extra room to get away from future wife, children, when myself or anyone else needs a break. What would do you do with four or five thousand acres of pristine, untouched, undeveloped land? Not that I own any land yet but if one did; what to do with it? I am a city guy, grown up with technology, its part of me until death or rejuvenation; hopefully the latter gets me before old Grim does. A student of arcane mysteries, mind-traveler. Attainment of it or not isn't the test staying stead fast is the test and failure is an option not defeat. Whatever happens as this new century unfolds; I want a place away, a sanctuary for thinking contemplative, theoretical, or unusual thoughts, or rest, have friends and family gathered. Could it be all I want is my own space where peace of mind reigns supreme. Any Ideas out there? Right now I’m trying to ease into the House-sitting PS My email has changed,[AGAIN]I do not know if this is the correct one – please bare with me folks:/ Or Snail Mail to Joe at |
