Observations from my favorite BAR

Middlefield Center

That picture (below) is not really where I live, I just liked the picture, because it's actually a satellite map, and you can zoom back away from it. It seems like it must be a very exotic place, which is exactly the opposite of Middlefield Center, my new home. Why did I move to Middlefield Center? There are no jobs, the rent is too expensive, there is no cultural diversity (that made me laugh, to write that). This is the kind of place where half the residents would FREAK OUT if they were building a Taco Bell. So why did I move here? One reason is because there are no Taco Bells. Another is because Beck doesn't live here. Another is because vodka is still used for screwdrivers, not martinis in a place like this. And another is because there is like one bar for every two people in this town. Therefore, presuming each bar needs some kind of bartender to run it, there is a good chance that you can always find a place to drink more or less alone.
