I was offered a job with U. S. Steel in Pittsburgh, CA in 1962 and would
have lived in Walnut Creek. It was about 30,000 people then. It's
wall-to-wall people now. I'm glad I stayed in Idaho. /jmac

outside Johnson City where Lyndon's ranch can be visited. Next door is a
working ranch with house lots where Republican movers and shakers are
getting their country homes. Lance Armstrong has his homes in Austin and
Dripping Springs (he sold the property next door to ours), Sandra Bullock
and Jesse James, many others including Dirk Halstead, who left a few signed
copies of his book at our local Mail Center where he's a customer (got
one!)... They like the place and the fact people leave them alone. And
please remember Sam Houston lost his job because he would not join the

It's still lovely where I live, but it's now in the center of an
increasing megalopolis. Getting from here to anywhere else I want to be
has become a real chore. Some of the nearer places I used to like to go
are now housing tracts and malls. We used to go for picnics in walnut
orchards Walnut Creek when I was a kid. Now the only walnuts there are
in overpriced salads in upscale eateries. I'll have the raspberry
vinaigrette, please.

Moose - Everybody move to Texas, please.
