Also glad decided to be a Democrat age 15 when living in Bay Area for school.

Born in Eureka, home has always been on the lower Klamath River inland from Redwood National Park.

Lived and worked in Bay Area, several other rural California communities as a in 20s and early 30s. Later in Portland and Corvallis in late 30s and early 40s. Managed to get much education but have been hunkered down since 2002. Have not been to a city since 2003 except had a cancer surgery in 2020 near Sacramento.

Seldom leave home. Now old, poor, declined health and non-technical but have the mountains and forests for solace. Not convenient but feel estranged from the World and less anxious just staying put.

Ageing is a humbling process.

Thank you for your optimism and good words for California. Much good for the USA originated in California.
