We have the Santa Cruz Mountains (I think that's what they're called) that separate Silicon Valley from Santa Cruz. I guess I could always move there one day, but I'm thinking I'll end up going north to Oregon when I'm ready to retire.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8730371508291366937.post-29468472061560943172017-05-19T19:28:54.666-07:002017-05-19T19:28:54.666-07:00I guess being on a golf course wouldn't be so ...I guess being on a golf course wouldn't be so bad if I had any interest in the sport, unfortunately I don't, so for me it's not so great. In the last two years I have grown used to roaming around on 25 acres (most of it wooded), this place has almost no yard whatsoever, which is making the stay here that much worse.<br /><br />I'm sorry to hear that you have to deal with that kind of a noise problem, I can certainly understand why you would want to possibly get away from that someday. By the by, are there any wooded areas in San Jose? It doesn't seem like there would be.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043468725408104535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8730371508291366937.post-8828664396297014712017-05-19T19:21:18.623-07:002017-05-19T19:21:18.623-07:00Even if that glimpse is of a very defective person...Even if that glimpse is of a very defective person?

I had thoughts of starting another blog for all my non card interests, but I'm having enough trouble just trying to keep up with this one as is, so it probably wouldn't be a great idea to start another right now.

I'm glad to hear that you have been able to find some peace as well.

Living in San Jose, it's noise pollution 16 to 18 hours of the day at my place. Sorry to hear about the bout with depression. Until I actually dealt with it, I didn't realize the seriousness of it. It's been awhile since I've had to deal with it, but I'm pretty sure I turned to fond memories and shopping to help me get through those phases. Glad to know you're pulling through it.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8730371508291366937.post-64217462801530916822017-05-19T05:11:15.605-07:002017-05-19T05:11:15.605-07:00Keep sharing your thoughts Jon, rambling or not. ...Keep sharing your thoughts Jon, rambling or not.

I understand how wonderful the country is. I moved from Dallas nearly two years ago now and live on 7 acres. A lot of space between me and most neighbors and I love the serenity I've found here.
