Finally got a real meal of food in my belly this morning. Marco and I have this tendency to stop eating when we've stopped riding, Sean Kelly style. Went to First Watch and ate some pancakes, decided to leave tomorrow a.m. and head on my way West. I like Ohio though. I like that you can get a good job (50k a year) and afford to buy a house in a good neighborhood (4 bedrooms 1/4 acre: 170k). What's that like? We in Califonia pay way too much for way too little, in my humble opinion. What are we paying so much for? True, there are tech jobs all over the place yours for the taking ...What's that... No? oh,.. ok, so not many jobs. OK, uh, well there are a ton of manufacturing jobs to be had in Northern Cal and you can make a ton of money... What? No? Not really? Um...ok, well there are a ton of real estate jobs where you can make the money to buy a house and live and.... What, goddamn it? No? There is a real slowdown in housing sales you say? Oh... Well then there are a lot of really rich people in Nor Cal that are sustaining the money that flies through the air in ones and zeros and you can get real close to them at Gordon Bierch and hopfully get some crumbs off their table so you can live.
Ok, maybe a little extreme. I think it's the weather actually, because why else would you pay $250k for a gazebo that's built on a fault line?
