Indeed. I've visited both places, and hold a strong belief that I need to live in both places for at least a year. I dream about both places frequently. Past lives? Maybe.
Logically it makes no sense, but I can't dismiss such strong feelings. I knew what it was like before seeing it. Like I can't dismiss those feelings of prior deaths either. Always a pleasure, Virginia. Love discussing such things with you.
Dear DragonFly, in that case... ...I have been reading Stephen Hawking and the other physicists/scientists/astronomers of the 20th century, post-classical sciences. Well they do not even have "truth" as such as their goal, any more. They construct theories that explain the observed facts, then test them out and follow wherever that leads, all the while adapting and adjusting for the sake of expanding the boundaries of our knowledge!
And so you end up in some VERY strange places, all the quantum uncertainties, but the fruitfulness has already taken us beyond anything believed possible.
Virginia, as always you are a balm for my soul, and a soother of my crazy curiosity. Thank you for both. I hate it when I go long periods without your careful ministrations.
New England would be pretty but just a tad cold. Maybe Louisiana, but those winds are kind of unpredictable. I'd probably settle on Northern Caliofornia or maybe Oregon. (I could stand at the border and wave to Virginia in WA.)
I honestly like where I live and do not think I'd be happier anywhere else .... Only other place I've seriously considered moving to is Vancouver B.C. .... So that's my answer then :)
Vancouver B.C. is certainly one of the cities I love best in this sorry world...prolly you know, JaimieJT, they have a whole series of streets names after famous British battles? Balaclava St. Waterloo St., etc. etc. etc.
I do know :) spent a week and few days there cos I was being recruited for a job .... Cost of living is so high there though and I would have had to leave my sister and niece ... Who you know I adore:) ... Was really close move there though ... Maybe one day :)
Yes! Cost of living in beautiful Vancouver BC is just not workable for most of us.
When you get vacation or something, you visit Hope, BC. Kinda long ways east of Vancouver, where the Coquihalla River joins the Fraser...beauty/gradeur, history, friendly people...(good name, too!) When I lived on Mt. Baker I would always spend the US Thanksgiving there; just knockin' around, wonderful Canadian town!
I wouldn't mind living on Lake Como in Italy, New Zealand, Spain, or Portugal. If I had to stay in the states, I like where I live now, NH, or I might be okay with Northern Cali or Santa Fe NM.
I would like to live in a permanent state of euphoria. But seriously, I would live in Florida in winter and Montana in summer.

I've lived in many states in USA....namely Wisconsin,Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York State, Texas, Kentucky, presently in California, hubby is in software and we are always on the move, in north east, standard of living is very cheap, in Wisconsin we paid the lowest rent, in Silicon Valley we paid 5 times the rent we paid in Wisconsin. Weather wise California is best followed by Texas....Texas house rents are also very reasonable..coming from a tropical country,India....I can't survive in frigid areas....I go into depression there...so we are paying a high cost to remain snow free;))
