If you live in Manhattan, you don’t need a car.

"If you live in Manhattan, you don’t need a car."

When worked in Manhattan 30 years ago, that was true. I walked from the station to my office almost every day. If the weather was unusually bad, I took the subway.

However, I have needed to go into Manhattan with my wife a number of times in the last few months, and we have needed to take a cab more times than in the previous 30 years.

(Manhattan subways and many of the streets are now "No Country for Old Men (and Women)")

There are a lot of hills in San Francisco. Duboce Triangle is one of the flatter areas.

I will never live in Manhattan.

I’m native Texan, some ancestors were born in the Republic of Texas.

I’ve lived in NM and OK also. Traveled many states during my almost 40 years in the wholesale hardware business.

My family has owned/operated farms in this county since 1889, county was established in 1885. I moved back home in 1995 (left in 1971). They will bury me here. I am 76, but in very good health.
