At least not more than people anywhere else. I certainly don't feel superior to anyone intellectually. Frankly, I'm dumb as a stump and I know it. Different interests, that's all. I've been here nine years and don't really have anyone I share common interests with. Cooking, I guess, maybe sewing. <br /><br />I mean, cripes-you have to be pretty damn smart to run a farm. Aside from all the chemistry and biology, just handling the kind of money they do requires some economic understanding-so yeah, you'll never hear me call someone a "dumb farmer" because God knows, they're not. <br /><br />I just wish I had friends that would get excited over finding a Calvino book in a thrift store.

I'm feeling exactly the same about my move to Sacramento. Do you feel un- or under-stimulated where you are? I am here. Or do you suppose maybe it's just our brains aging? (Or maybe these places are aging our brains prematurely?) <br /><br />After ten years here (TEN YEARS??!!), I feel as though I've been lobotomized. My humor and quick wit seem not half what they were before coming here. BTW, when I lived in San Francisco (before I moved to Boston) and I would come here to Sacto to visit family, I felt lobotomized and it would take me a couple days to recover and shake off having been mentally numbed. That after visiting just a day or two, and now I've been here ten years. You can imagine how dull I feel now.Raymondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06097447359828714543noreply@blogger.com
