Thank you. Your words carried a lot of power, kindness. I’m actually moving to CA in a month or so, San Fran, not sure how far that is from Riverside, but I’ll be there.

San Fran is a city of longing — I think you’ll like it there. Riverside is in southern California, almost desert country. If you were driving from Vegas, you’d probably pass Riverside on the way. Here the longing is different — we want the ocean, I want the cold, everywhere there is a dry dust sky.
