i know that is a title of a sci fi book, but today i really, really realized how i don't fit here. an implant from boulder to the middle of nebraska is just weird. so many contrasts.. oxymoric...
the tallest part of the lower 48 to the probably the flattest, from a very health aware place where people may drink wine, but are really into organic and good fresh food and exercise and people are quite fit to the place where they really ought to be the most fit and healthest and there is no whole foods, (except for your own garden), or farmer's market and cows are fed hormones and antibotics, etc. the ground force fed fertilizers, the water sucked out of the aquafier. from more saved by grace to yeah that is true but i had better work hard at being perfect. from a collage of language and cultures to a place that endorses english as the state language and putting fences up along the border and no citizenship for people here already.
you can not find really good bread in the nearby towns, but on campus there are people who make truly great bread, and there are people who exercise, and there are thinkers, and believers in grace. there is a small fresh spring.
i am here for some reason
ps ... boulder is not perfect ... i know....

it is quite the change. it is funny how a lot of country people aren't into eating good food while city people who want to live the country do. and the whole attitude change about politics based on geographical region is weird. i don't bring up my politics around here much.
ahhhhhhh... the grass is always greener...... how strange for the grass to be greener in the city than on the farm.
that is an oxymoron.
It is interesting that in Belle there are also at least two factions:
1. the ranchers who think it is a crime not to eat meat [after all they raise cattle, sheep and some even pigs]
2. The 'good health' people who can be found walking at any time of year. [the only times I didn't see them out was when we had a bad blizzard]. These people eat well also. T
3. Well, I guess there is always the third faction.. those who don't care!
