I planned, I researched and I searched the net. Then I went and it was ten times better than I thought it would have. I spent two weeks moving up and down the coastal highway. The sights were to be loved and remembered, the videos to always look at, new details to find with each viewing. I met a man in Jenna who lived in Sacramento who hadn't been to the coast since he was a boy. We were about the same age and I thought of all the places I had been since I began to drive and I thought what could have anchored someone in one spot for so long must have been very absorbing and consuming. The first place on the schedule was St. Helena and that was a hard place to find from Sacramento without any local maps and ended up driving in the wrong direction the first two or three hours and then found the direction and still ended up driving over the mountains on 128 to 29 and that was an experience. The next day I drove over the mountains again, this time to Glen Ellen where Jack London State Park was. That was another headache finding even with detailed driving directions. On the way back I decided to stay on the main highway and found out I should have taken the mountain road back and cut my travel time to a third. After that my next destination was Clearlake. That was the most winding road of the whole trip from Calistoga to Clearlake and probably the biggest elevation change too. I looked at property in Clearlake and all around it. I blew into town late on the first day I was there most of the next and I toured a couple of houses and tracked down several that were in the MLS listings. I was definitely not impressed with the character of the old commence center except for one restaurant that looked like it had something happening.
Love the ones that love you.

For a person to be truly civilized one must allow oneself to be ruled by the laws of man not one's fear of retribution in the after life. The bible was written by men who had no way to control the illiterate masses other than superstitious mumbo jumbo, a sharp sword if you disobeyed and a promise of reward in the after life if you obeyed. When I posted my thread "Thank You Jesus" I was baited by a particular individual until I had said enough for them to complain to the moderater and get my thread closed for it. I was disappointed that it was. Their determination to silence me hasn't weakened me, it has made me stronger by what I have learned. The fact that I said I doubted the existence of a creator threatened their belief and they didn't want the thread read by others and enlightened by the truth I wrote. They call themselves christian but what they believe has nothing to do with the teachings of Jesus who they want to be the christ of their adoration. To them he is only a tool to be used to manipulate and brain wash young impressionable minds. What they didn't want was someone speaking in his name and revealing the truth of his true message. He was only a man with a powerfull message of love. He realized that he must harness the tool that the ones in power had, the bible: to spread his message but they only wanted it for themselves to have exculsive use of. The only way they could conrol him was to crucify him and make him their tool. Any one else that tries to reveal his truth is a threat that demands immediate action to stamp out then and now. Love the ones that love you.
