Once I met a man on a Lake Superior beach who told me that his sisters had left to be nurses in T'rono, but that he had been able to stay. He was very lucky, he said, because money didn't mean much to him. I've never forgotten his definition of luck, and I feel sorry for all the people down here who have not been so fortunate. Even, and especially, the ones who think money's just the way they keep score. Still, that their lives would make me doo-lally doesn't mean they're not happy, or happy-and-productive, as the formulation here goes.

i missed you—and your wonderful writing.

I always thought the poorer places got worse lighting (Harlem and Brooklyn have fewer street lights than the Upper East Side), but your theory makes sense in Los Gatos. And I love that you know exactly where you'd live if you had that kind of cash. I have a pretty good idea, too. Interesting take on darkness.

The town has an enormous number of Police for it's population, so I guess it is known to be safe. So safe are the suburbs of Los Gatos ( a block from the centre), in fact that the street lights are off at night. It seems rural, not suburban. I really dont get it though, if I had their money I would be living on the top of the TransAmerica pyramid, or some large Penthouse in the city, and modern Capra bedammed.

Only the richest places look like that any more.
