May 3, 201511 yr Active Members Unplugged Along the California Coast Solo, or with the right person....this could very well be "Heaven on Earth" http://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/03/travel/unplugged-along-the-california-coast.html?_r=0 The Answer - Poem by Robinson Jeffers Then what is the answer?- Not to be deluded by dreams.To know that great civilizations have broken down into violence,and their tyrants come, many times before.When open violence appears, to avoid it with honor or choosethe least ugly faction; these evils are essential.To keep one's own integrity, be merciful and uncorruptedand not wish for evil; and not be dupedBy dreams of universal justice or happiness. These dreams willnot be fulfilled.To know this, and know that however ugly the parts appearthe whole remains beautiful. A severed handIs an ugly thing and man dissevered from the earth and starsand his history... for contemplation or in fact...Often appears atrociously ugly. Integrity is wholeness,the greatest beauty isOrganic wholeness, the wholeness of life and things, the divine beautyof the universe. Love that, not manApart from that, or else you will share man's pitiful confusions,or drown in despair when his days darken. Robinson Jeffers
May 3, 201511 yr I lived in San Francisco for 33 years before I just retired to Ft. Lauderdale. It never got tired to just go 15 miles from the city past the 280 freeway and you would think you were in a different world. Many times on a Sunday I would just take a ride down the coast as an escape from city life.
May 3, 201511 yr Author Active Members HA!...I was in LA my whole life, and made that run up HWY 1 to San Francisco countless times. To me it was just magical. Now I'm in Fort Lauderdale also...what was I thinking? lol

May 3, 201511 yr Active Members Even more amazing at 1500 feet and 150 knots. I have been from Torrance to Tacoma and back which is this route and more. Just avoid the busy airports, do not disturb the wildlife sanctuaries and go. I have a video of this trip somewhere in my files. I always like to visit CA and have friends there but have no desire to live there. Best regards, RA1

Yes...lol...every time I tip the dancing boys they tell me how young and cute I am, right up until 'last call', then they take the money I gave them, go get something to eat and go home and fuck their girl friends.

Well, at least you have some instant gratification. I have found that if I stand and look in the mirror and tell MYSELF those things, I save tons of money, and have lots of new fabulous shoes.
