Technically, I live in La Mesa but that is part of SD county. Actually SD County encompasses everything from the beachfront, to small villages, to mountains and deserts. We can drive from the beach in the morning to play in the snow at Mt. Laguna and then out to the deserts in one day.
Today I saw a road runner, dead fish, sea birds, new growth on burned out trees, sand storm and a toppled sign. I went from mid 40s to 70's in a few hours. I saw desolation and life, history and future. I was windburned and ate grit for a part of the day but I saw beauty and ugliness.
I think that there is something interesting in most places. My mom would not be able to see the beauty in one tiny flower sticking it's head out, she does not see the beauty in steep canyon walls. For her it must be green and delicate flowers. There is something to be said about the tenacity of the wild desert, the cactus, the animals who live there. Just one thing.......if it is a windy day get your hair under something, it's worse than riding in a convertible!!
