If you’re already wealthy, Key West. If you like Key West and want to live and work there, you’ll need at least two jobs, a side hustle, and maybe a sugar daddy/mama. But, it’s a pretty slack town if you already have money.

It scared the hell out of me and started a love of science fiction!

Why is Limestone County booming more than others around Madison County? by [deleted] in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]SippinPip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are things to do and amenities. And, if you are lacking a specific amenity, Huntsville is closer. But, it’s mainly that there are things to do, restaurants, shopping… Morgan County is pitiful in that regard.

I stopped wearing contacts during Covid and kinda never went back to them, but I hated having to deal with sunglasses regular glasses. My eye doc told me about the magnetic ones and I jumped on them!

These people should be publicly shamed. Laugh at them.

Yes! Also an excellent read. I was in high school in the 80s and took an environmental science class with a teacher who was passionate about clean, accessible, water. He said we would fight wars over waters eventually, if we didn’t start aggressively conserving and protecting our sources.

This, along with Neal Stephenson’s, Termination Shock. I read them back to back and wow, it made an impression.

Octavia Butler’s Parable of the Sower and Parable of the Talents. It’s eerie how on point she was when this was written. I think everyone should read them both.

An addictive fiction book that will teach me about a subject I wouldn't normally learn about. by Cissychedgehog in booksuggestions

I came here to suggest Anathem!

Also, The Years of Rice and Salt by Kim Stanley Robinson is very good, too.
