People don't live in this small town for decades, they live for generations

I look out back windows and I see uninhabited mountain scapes, I look out my front windows and the city and lights lay below me

Almost every night the coyotes gather across the street and pack gather howls and yips

Couple of nights a week wildlife of bobcat, fox coyote and bear stroll through my yard ( critter cams ). This year on June 7 th I had bear climb in my kitchen window and sit on my kitchen floor munching my bagels until I bang and growled him out

11 years straight pair of large Red Hawks teacher their young to fly from my next door neighbors house. The frequent hawk calls are wonderful break from city background noise.

Is it worth all I own to risk of fire, mudslides and earthquakes? 38 years and answer still seems Yes, but events of the last week highlight the gamble I have chosen that I may have forgotten it's possible cost.
