Settling down

Atlanta... Hot and colorless... Scarlett O´Hara and Civil War come to mind more than Museum of Coca Cola or 6 Flags when the city is mentioned...
No sidewalks, nobody cycling to work, cars seem to be the inhabitants of this place and everything is meant for them. Everything is on driving distances. How can you not get a car here... how can you avoid the debt?

Fast food places and shopping centers abound, they stay open late... stimulating consumption. There is Asian Buffet across the road, fixed rate for all you can eat... people make sure they eat a lot, sad... shows the dark side of human nature.

Wal-Mart, king of the place, most of the walking is done inside I would guess... rows of things to spend money on. Children get their first business skills here, running around, grabbing stuff and fighting with their parents in pursuit of added possession.

There is a bold mountain to be seen out of my Country Inn window, Stone Mountain. It is claimed to be the largest exposed granite stone in the world... and it is famous for the carving which depicts Confederate leaders of Civil War.
I saw the carving while jogging by this morning, looks impressive...

Still happy and excited... not sure where this come from to a person that appreciates black hues more than white. I am still the same collection of flaws, but I learned to see opportunity for improvement in each of them... Well, my perfect readers, don't you find it boring knowing next to everything? ... joking and yet hoping to be on the other side of the line that separates ignorance and knowledge.
