Given some of your previous pictures, I have a feeling you are going to miss the mountains too. I am on the east coast of Canada now, but I grew up on the west coast. I miss the mountains a lot...
understandable for someone who grew up among the astonishing landscapes of alberta or british columbia. but i grew up in moscow. every piece of land in the world in better than moscow. and this is yurop, alps will be a couple hours of flight away!
You get used to the rain fairly quickly and it really isn't that bad, also our summers have been quite nice in the past few years (yay climate change).
cool!
We have mountains here too!
no, you have pimples

(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.
