Rules and Ping Back. Thanks Melanie for hosting 🙂
Questions:
What do you think of professional motivational speakers? Do you think they motivate? Depends on the topic they are peddling. And yes I am letting my opinion slip as peddling has a not so nice connotation. Used cars salesman like. And cue “Little Miss Sunshine”. The Greg Kinnear character and his steps to enlightenment. If you haven’t seen the movie, watch it sometime. He was selling dreams of fulfillment and unfulfilled himself. Art imitates life sometimes. Not to say ALL professional motivational speakers are unfulfilled because there are no absolutes.
Do you have a favorite flavor? Cherry
While out walking, you hear a rustling in some bushes. What do you think of? Bear! Seriously, Colorado has bears going into populated areas these days. A friend of a friend shared an article on FB. No bears in my neighborhood but anything rustling in bushes would cause a panic attack. I’d probably scream like a little girl :). It is why I walk with my gig. I am constantly on “do you want some fire scarecrow” mode as I am out and about.
What’s your ideal temperature (nature-wise)? Hot, cold, temperate and mild, humid or bone dry? Mild. If I could duplicate the weather in Lompoc CA and push that to Texas, I would. The weather is so nice, the homes are not always built with A/C because they rarely have to use it. Sitting on the patio at night, talking with family around and small fire pit in July. Priceless.
Bears are becoming a bigger issue here in Norther MA too. We have had one visiting friends of mine in the town over.

It is scary. I’d have a heart attack if I saw one up close.

One ran across the street in front of my car a few years ago. Even in the car I was truly unnerved.

LOL. Reading this I thought of my answers: no, yes, run, 72. As far as LOMPOC, I was going to try for a job there one time. Then I realized that they could not pay me enough to get by. Expensive place back then. I agree that Pacific coast weather is fine with me.

My uncle retired Air Force ran the commissary. He was what they called a “double dipper” plus my aunt worked at the base too. When we visited it was like country mice in the big city. Not size wise since San Antonio is bigger but wealth wise. We felt like royalty.

Double dipper here, too. My years in CA were in Sacramento area (how I miss it) with only brief visits to other areas.

Thank you kindly for participating in Share Your World! Bears? I’m with you in being prudent in exploring that noise… 😮 Very interesting answers you gave! 🙂

Never been to Lompoc. I see it’s midway between San Francisco and Los Angeles, close enough to the ocean to keep it cool. Works for me…

It’s the best. I haven’t been back since I was 23. I used to visit every summer. I often thought about visiting again even though my relatives have relocated. One of those things I should have done when I had the chance.
