Serpentine is state rock of California. We used to have green roads, too. However, a lot of serpentine has asbestos in it. Green roads removed.

I've never heard of this before...that would be awesome. Every road wasn’t green. I think most were in northern part of the state. I’m trying to find where they were and photos. |

Suppose some people would like that jase Personally I wouldn’t care for it Butte I really do enjoy watching those kids climb all over that Walboy Bench something-- a simple joy about it I can hear children voices playing in a yard When I hear children voices my feelings aren't so hard Hidaway Your honest face Your quiet simple grace You are one thing I will not waste  |

mohs. jasoninsd many years ago some men painted in gold or silver (skin, hair, and all clothing) would find a busy downtown corner and pose still; wouldn’t move a muscle. People would stop and stare and wonder if the “statue” were real or not. In San Francisco. Of course! Google “men pretend to be statues”.

We got some new neighbors a while back. They have kids. First time in over 20 years that we have kids next door. I really missed hearing them play outside. I really don't mind the noise, at all. My brother, who is an old curmudgeon, doesn't understand how it doesn't bother us. It makes my heart feel good.  |

Right on Tela I have a fair amount of curmudgeon in me too Although at the public park place I really enjoy seeing all the kids faces in strollers ! I’m always making faces at them Some respond –others are not so sure-- ha ha The other thing I enjoy is watching the kid walk the balancing beam Just 2” wide-- 2 inches off the ground. 3 years old try their skills some wobbly and some not so sure some make it others have Mom steady them enjoy observing I’ll have to get picture of that ... |
