A good description of my memories of Fairfield. Still too far from the coast, though. I really enjoyed living in that area when development of my consciousness was paramount, though it was always a means to an end, because, in Woddy Allen's immortal words, "I don't mellow, I rot". Here, I have the ocean, the bay, views of mountains, and a vibrant urban environment seeded amongst all of that. And 7-11's.:-) Hey, I like that Fairfield has four unambiguous seasons. >-Buck in the Dome > > > >--- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <fairfieldlife@yahoogroups.com> wrote: > > >And I still think that the community of FF is one of the sweetest legacies >that Maharishi left us.
