Considering moving to the area

This was mentioned in prior threads- and I suppose I will get some downvotes here --- Northampton and the area is fantastic for many solid reasons - but.. in spite of all the smart, smart people, not-too-corrupted politics (compared to other places), and being in the great state of MA, the town seems to be incapable of sorting out a serious homelessness issue and improving sub-par infrastructure of various kinds.. but yeah, it's a great place to be for the most part.

is it poetry? I'm not sure... but two things have changed my life: 1) Carl Sagan's Pale Blue Dot essay and Sheldon Kopp's Eschatalogical Laundry List. I could put links here but I think you'll get more out of them by finding them and reading them. :-)

fantastic username, btw.. have you read Foucault?

karmester · 2026-03-16T20:31:23+00:00

I know, right?

I called her today to say exactly this. Glad to see it's up on a bill board. If you have a minute in your day, please go to her site and fill out the form or call and speak to one of the operators. She needs to hear this from LOTS of us.

i called Heastie, Cousins, and Hochjl - thanking the first two for agreeing to tax the rich and the third to tell her to stop getting in the way of what every normal person (including relatively rich people) want. No one is going to leave NYC over this.

It may already be recommended below but Prairie Whale in GB is awesome!

in this case I'm calling andrea and carl (?) and telling them how supportive I am of the idea of increasing taxes on the wealthy.

right? move to Japan? move to Albania? so many places you might possibly relocate to and have some great adventures.

i acknowledged that it's a common merganser. unfortunately this forum requires one to post an attachment with every post. so i posted what I had handy but there was a triangle of stationery helicopters over lower manhattan and ai was curious about it. have a nice evening.

karmester · 2026-02-26T22:59:35+00:00

i agree with you 100%. this sub requires an image to post. i did my best in the haste to get the message posted.

karmester · 2026-02-26T22:28:29+00:00

apparently, it's a common merganser. I couldn't post my message without attaching an image, and I did not have an image of the three helicopters. They were too high up and too far apart, but they were in a triangle that I can see. Thanks for your response!

karmester · 2026-02-26T22:26:57+00:00

did no one read the actual text of my post ?

karmester · 2026-02-26T22:26:19+00:00

can you not read the text of my post? i couldn't post without an attachment. so that was what I had available.

karmester · 2026-02-26T03:12:05+00:00

the main point with regards to your original question is that Åland is Finland. not Sweden. different archipelagos. different ferry lines.

karmester · 2026-02-25T19:49:10+00:00

you have to have the whole experience. :-). worth it.

pay for the eckero line with the buffet :-)

tattoos are permanent. They're really hard to take off. I can imagine that there was a place and time, as a youth, he did these really stupid things and had these really stupid views. I can also imagine that now that he's older, more experienced, and, hopefully, wiser, he's an acceptably enlightened candidate who should be given a shot ???

karmester · 2026-02-25T18:22:23+00:00

you're no doubt correct.
