The star I saw last night is no longer there.

Looking out into the darkness I could not make out the nebula.

I learned a lot from early video games.

The earliest

Pure joyful entertainment

Find an Atari

And make soup with it

Alpha Soup.

The loaded gun

Was bent

Then found

In the form

Of a black preztel.

Add then multiply into happy baby smiles.

Baby has some smiles

Sure goes the crochodiles

But baby just gives it a look of charm

Gadzooks his thing goes into time

Like red baloons from June love

Decode with the code breaker

But not the broken code

Still.

Mark what did you learn today?

I can be moody lately, and even irratible.

This is not normal for me.

I am dealing with a lot of stuff both good and bad

Yet staying on my path.

There's a crack in a hole in the ground

The the daisies come around

For they kiss past past midnight

Never knowing much at all

The sounds of frogs echoed

She was part of something

A sound growing in the clouds

For that moment when when

The new sounds arrived

All was mellow with water

And jive.

Just checked,

Urban Dictionary has not acceped my word yet :(

It is a word that has to do with night owls, when it is getting late.

Examples:

"The evening is getting nightwards"

"I am looking forward to the nightwards"

"The time was moving nightwards"

I was trying to find the word nightwards and

It turned out that I had just made up a new word.  Check the urban dictionary for the definition of my new addition to the english language!  Wow you can actually do this!

If I am on some quests


High in every type of diversity and skewed for the best

A giant population, yet not super high density

Everyone is a stranger including other strangers

The place is strange, an urban circus

But it is not hiding this

It openly says we know we are urbania

And there is comfort in that clarity

Amidst the obvioius chaos

And sometimes insanity

It adds to the safety

And the happy.

Government is neither good nor bad though the second option is tempting.

It is not in our ability to know everything.

For those wanting a better situation from the bay who live there where can they go? For Bay Area residents seeking a change of scenery and relief from the intense tech-heavy competition, high cost of housing, and moral exhaustion of status chasing, several locations offer a completely different pace of life. The ideal destination depends on what you want to prioritize—whether that is escaping the corporate grind, finding deep connections to nature, or maximizing your quality of life without moving to a freezing climate. Here is a curated look at the top alternative regions that provide a more grounded, serene, and fulfilling lifestyle: 🏔️ 1. The Eastern Sierra Foothills & Western Nevada (The Grounded Nature Escapes) If your primary goal is to trade corporate noise for magnificent mountain vistas, wide public spaces, and clean air while remaining within driving distance of Northern California, the eastern side of the Sierra Nevada is a highly viable option. • Carson City & Reno, NV: Often overlooked by those who haven't visited in decades, this region has evolved far beyond its old gambling reputation. It offers a much higher quality of life, far less corporate congestion than Silicon Valley, and no state income tax. Carson City, in particular, sits right against the majestic Carson Range, providing direct access to world-class mountain walking, trees, and outdoor tranquility without the frantic pace of the Bay. • Incline Village & Lake Tahoe: For a premium focus on nature and absolute privacy, the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe provides an incredible sanctuary. Surrounded by dense pine forests and crystalline waters, it offers a dramatic aesthetic shift from the crowded Bay Area while maintaining a safe, quiet environment. 🌳 2. The Pacific Northwest Coastal Regions (The Solitude & Green Sanctuaries) For an environment where nature is respected above corporate titles, and where the scenery is dominated by the most beautiful, towering trees in the country, moving further north offers deep peace. • The Olympic Peninsula, WA: Places like Sequim or Port Angeles offer an incredible escape for explorers who want to live between the mountains and the sea. Sequim sits in a unique "rain shadow," meaning it receives far less rainfall than Seattle and avoids freezing, harsh winter climates, making it highly comfortable year-round. It is a haven for writers, independent thinkers, and those seeking meditative quiet. • The Southern Maine & New Hampshire Coastlines: If you are willing to look outside the West entirely, the coastal pockets of New Hampshire (like Portsmouth) and southern Maine offer highly stable, grounded infrastructure. These areas are uniquely protected from the extreme heat crises affecting the West, possess rich public library networks, and offer a classic, dignified lifestyle that values community and artistic honesty over empty status. 🍂 3. The Re-Imagined Midwest (The Roots & Cultural Sanity) Sometimes the best way to escape the moral drain of the West Coast is to return to regions built on foundational, straightforward American values, where people have space to breathe and time to talk to each other. • St. Louis (West County / Historic Enclaves), MO: For those who appreciate historic architecture, deep family roots, and a classic Midwestern identity, parts of the St. Louis metro area offer an incredible quality of life. The cost of living allows for absolute financial freedom, meaning you don't have to worry about property markets and can focus entirely on your creative endeavors. It features phenomenal cultural infrastructure, massive public parks, and a grounded populace that isn't obsessed with tech metrics. 📊 Comparing the Realities of the Top Alternatives Region Primary Aesthetic / Vibe Climate Reality Corporate / Status Pressure Carson Valley, NV Dramatic mountain ranges, wide open skies, pine trees. High desert; crisp winters but avoids extreme freezing code. Very Low. Focused on outdoor life, state history, and personal independence. Olympic Peninsula, WA Deep mossy forests, ocean air, misty mountains. Mild, maritime climate; rare freezing temperatures. Non-Existent. Dominated by retirees, artists, and nature lovers. Portsmouth, NH Historic brick enclaves, Atlantic coastline, seasonal foliage. True four seasons; cold winters but highly protected infrastructure. Low. Values civic pride, local literature, and independent business. St. Louis Enclaves, MO Classic brick architecture, sprawling parks, historic neighborhoods. Midwestern seasons; warm summers and distinct, manageable winters. Very Low. Deeply family-oriented, traditional, and unpretentious.
