To me, it's simply not THAT interesting. It's better than many cities.

You see, to me, home is being with someone you care about. I used to
confuse home with places. Any place can be home with the right people.
That's how I wound up in godforsaken places like Lake George NY, Raleigh
NC, Manhattan and Vermont.

OK, they weren't the right people, but at the time, they were the closest
I found to same.

To me, being anywhere with Rick is more interesting (and "far sight
better") than being anywhere without him.

So, you see, TO ME, when you criticize where I live, you ARE criticizing
my relationship. Maybe you didn't realize that. If it weren't for Rick, I
wouldn't have been in San Francisco *at all.*

So if you want to make a request, I'd ask that you actually STAY within
the boundaries you pose.
