My wife and I have been talking about escaping California. Washington and Oregon top the list of places we might go.

Washington seems to be where many expat Californians end up.

With paramount owning the rights to star trek and CSI, I think it's time for

"It's no good. He scrambled his transporter signature, masked his biosigns and jammed all nearby scanner grids. We've got nothing."

"Did you check for fingerprints?"

"Finger whatnow?"

I spent the formative years of my life (Ages ~12 - 29) in a weird, semi-rural part of Ohio. We were only 45 minutes outside of Columbus, and my town wasn't that rural.. We had a (dying) mall, multiple major grocery stores, most of the main fast food staples.. But at the same time we also weren't that suburban. We had one of the larger county fairs in the state, kids in my school got most of fair week off because they knew that half the kids were in FFA and wouldn't be showing up anyway. On any given day you probably can't catch in Uber in town.

Right before the pandemic my parents bought a house and moved to one of the more rural parts of town. Their lot is sandwiched between two farms, one of which is a cow farm.. It's about a 20-25 minute drive for them to get to the grocery store. I lived with them there in that house for about two years before finally getting out on my own, and I've got to say.. I have zero desire to live in the country. I could run to the store and be back in the time it would take my folks to get to the store, get parked, and pick out a shopping cart. If I wanted to make something for dinner, and was missing a couple of ingredients, I could go grab them. My parents would instead have to decide on something else for dinner.

I don't really have any desire to move to a big bustling city either.. But I definitely want to live in a place where my neighbors are humans, rather than cows. Who knows.. Maybe as I get older my mind will change and the Dakota's will become more enticing.. But as for right now I think you guys a loony.

Ya'll are talking about fleeing society and living in the woods alone, and I'm over here, quietly designing water treatment systems and pipe networks to furnish clean drinking water for a hundred thousand people that I'll never meet.

What would be the most convenient and least secure access point to such a system, hypothetically? Definitely not asking for the Joker, the Scarecrow, or any Arkham Asylum residents...

I do not think that says or proves what you think it does.

Goodnight, folks.

I've been away on travel, so I just saw this.

There are times that we all burn out. Sometimes the place changes, and sometimes we are the ones that have changed.

...and other times, the place changes, and we change with the place. Except we don't like those changes we see in ourselves, and realize that our blood is just getting all angry and no one likes the angry blood. It is a good thing to take a respite from the slings and arrows of outrageous comments.

Anyway, the departure of some commenters here reminds me of what I always say ... "Some cause happiness wherever they go; bards whenever they go." But you, Reynard, are no bard, so I hope that we will see you again.
