RE: A Change of Scenery-- City Lights
Never been into big cities and large crowded areas. Just too much motion, smell and sound pollution.
Large cities are always in a rush to get somewhere. I doubt any of them really know where they are going just that they have to get “somewhere.”
I would prefer to one day retire near a mountain in the middle of the woods alone! Just me and the backdrop of nature. A lake view as well would be nice.
For now I will just settle for being in a small town. With a little bit of woods around but slowly over time as the city grows so does its influence in our own neck of the woods.
I stood outside on the balcony... and couldn't see but the brightest stars. And realized that we live in a place with almost no light pollution. So... instead... I watched the giant horseshoe pattern of one aircraft after another doing a big loop to reach their final glide path into SeaTac airport; ships in the harbor, coming and going.
We live in an established (50+ years) neighborhood at the outskirts of our town. We know what's there, and there will be no more building... the houses sit on 1/2 acre lots or larger and there are mature trees. And it works. Will we move elsewhere? Possibly, but not likely...
Sounds really nice. You guys happy with size and maintenance of your house? Or will that be a reason to move one day if you choose to?
