Let's not forget that Fairfiled is sort of an ashram since probably the majority there are TMers or ex-TMers. That's why they may not understand when I rap the "flatlanders" out here in the world as being a bit tweaked. They aren't experiencing those kind of people so much in FF as they might say in Chicago or even maybe Iowa City. Fairfield, I've always viewed as an "escape" from the everyday world just as I know people up in Seattle that moved to one of the San Juan islands as an escape. Fairfield also reminded me of Sonoma, CA but in the corn fields (or desert as someone pointed out yesterday) and Sonoma is in the vineyards (and not so dry). It is also a community with a number of new agers, maybe a bit more Sante Fe like.
