Wow.. I work up this morning and new what I was going to talk about; my vivid and down right disturbing dream. I dreamt (the only word in the english language to end in mt by the way) I beat up a couple of old men ( they were probably 50 or 60).. Thier crime.. They were bragging and showing me how they tore down more farms and put up more housing developments. I went nuts! I mean banging thier head on the ground kind of nuts! The dream had already been wierd; like me walking to another city via a train track in the dark (yeah that is smart) and when I got there.. the beautiful country was gone... and there was nothing there but large ugly homes (in the building process... that is what it always looks like out here now.. homes in the building process).. I flipped out I could not believe they had distroyed one more piece of our wonderful, beautiful land for a buck! The funny thing is it was a piece of property in snelling.. (most people go where? yep even those of us who live here... go where?) it is out beyond Turlock and on the way, there is some of the most beautiful sites. And it was gone and all you saw where frames and colored stucco! uggggh Though it was dream and a disturbing one (I hate violent movies) it was so real. Why, because my hometown has already sold its soul for a dollar. Now the little cities like Turlock are selling thier soul for a dollar. In case you haven't guessed I live in an agricultural community (or use to anyway) that use to sale more of this and that, then anywhere else in the world. Now we have homes or overgrown un-needed hospitals or just-what-we-need-another-Target-shopping center in place of farms. Because you know when we get hungry we can always eat the cement. And before those of you in those out-lining cities I am talking about start preaching... "well, we kept out Walmart!" Let's talk about that for a moment (this is for those especially in Turlock). Walmart was going to go along the freeway; have you seen how ugly the space is that they were going to occupy? You won't let them move here but you will sale your farm land to the bay area people so they can "afford" a home here. Which they can afford a home in the bay-area just not a 5,000 square foot home. You let them cut down our futures, our childrens future for the almighty dollar. But hey you wouldn't let Walmart come here. Good for you! (sarcasim in case you missed it) We here in CA..(in case you had not figured out where I was from) are blowing it. We just keep moving from one area to another and destroying the land on the way. We are like the indians that use to use all the materials and resources and move on. But instead of leaving an empty land (which over time will fix itself) we leave cement. I am truely sad. I am sad because of the loss and because of the uncertanity of the future. We will begin to use more genetic modified foods (which we have no idea the long term effects)... I am sorry my children will grow up and not see the beautiful white blossoms in March...(maybe by then the stucco will be white instead of all these blah brown colors) Well enough rhanting for now...(maybe I will be able to get a nap and this time get an G one) |
