| The World's Population is Still Increasing | | Is the World getting Better? |
| I
presume that people who were born in the early nineteen-hundreds are
probably either astounded, astonished or perhaps dismayed by the
fact that our world has been unavoidably altered in some incredible
methods or even demeanor. Some of this 1900's clique might be
positively or negatively affected in their own lives by their own
personal exposure to their/our own altered world and the resulting
changes that affect the world are just a pertinent fact for all of us. Any
populations of any people come forth with any number of ideas
ultimately resulting in changes in the way things work or possibly new
things invented. Due
to our larger and ever larger population, the number of positive
outcome definitions in any particular situation is also increasing. Is
that a good thing? In my opinion a person
unavoidably knows that he or she is getting relatively "older" when
nieces or nephews of yours are finding themselves in the process of
getting married. My niece has now knowingly become (with or without an
actual marriage) a "piece" who is already part of a "large puzzle". | 
The
top arrow in this unidentifiable state map points to an odd city by the
name of Carpinteria. The distance between the two ("pointed toward")
cities is 61 miles. |
| On
my current excursion to the state of California, I find myself in the
same situation. I must be getting older. I find it impossible to
consider myself wise. Maybe I'm not yet old enough or just plain too
stupid. I haven't attended California for ten or fifteen years. That's
about how long my niece needed before she was mature enough to desire
to be married. During that period I have noticed a few things
that have changed regarding to the Californian environment. The brief
automobile trip that covered 61 miles required three hours. What in the
hell is happening in this world. There didn't use to be anything here
and it was beautiful. What happened? Was I unhappy? Was I supposed to
be? The city of Carpinteria (sic) does not
manufacture vacuum cleaners (no pun intended). In fact, it hasn't done
anything in the past thirty years - until lately. This region has a
major highway running through it. It has a lot of open space and it has
a wonderful potential of making some people a lot of money by providing
needy other people with so-called affordable housing. |
San Francisco is only my example for this story and has a limited amount of space and its houses are thusly a bit more crowded. | Both of these houses perch next to an ocean and maybe you are one who likes that sort of place. Where would you like to live? | 
The rest of this expansive state is quickly turning those that were
previously empty hills into nothing but houses. Soon enough, the entire
state will be as crowded as San Francisco is. |
| The
last time that I made a similar trip up the Californian coast I can
remember exactly what there was to see - ocean, rocks and grassy hills.
Now we feature a fine look at future residences of equally future
people to be produced. I also get a fine view of the rear end of the
car that is in my way. I have two choices. I
can feel optimistic or pessimistic. I'm stuck with one or the other
right? In my case, I feel a little bit of both choices but I hope for
the best overall. The air in a previously smoggy environment has
improved in the last twenty years. The supposed improvement can
actually be visually detected - no joke. On the other hand, the grassy
hills that you used to ride on horses are now just entries in history
books - forever. That's too bad. This is my story. I have lived
during both periods. My best of luck
wishes are issued to my happily married niece. The current situation in
her life - as she observes it - is just "normal". She has great hopes
for their couple's grand future. I'll sincerely do what I can to help.
I can't finish this story any other way. We'll see how it goes as long
as our own life spans will allow us. |
