Places we miss

[pawpaw]

I miss the area I grew up, the Sacramento Valley. The longer I live in a city, the clearer it is to me that I belong back where I'm from. I've been thinking about that a lot lately.

I miss the North America of not to long ago, the one without Wal-Mart, Home Depot and all the other godforsaken box-store chains that have ruined or are ruining all that was good about urban society.

The top of Haleakala (Volcano in Maui).  People will pick you up at your hotel at 3 a.m. and truck you to the top (11,000 feet or so - cold and full of snow when we were there), the sun pops out of the Pacific at 6ish, and you spend the rest of the morning hauling ass down the volcano roads on a bike (you peddle exactly once).  My favorite memory of my wife and I.
