IS FOLLOWING A LOVE WHO'S LEFT YOU TO LIVE ELSEWHERE A SMART THING TO DO?

The man in the picture below this post is not me. I don't know where this picture of the bacon-like rock was taken. The rock looks like a big strip of Canadian bacon. I like to think this guy found the rock somewhere up in Canada. I'd like to know this guy. He looks to me to be a friendly, intelligent man, and I've always thought the world needs more of those.

Love, found and then lost, is really the subject of this piece of ridiculousness. I have an old friend whom I've know for years. He comes to visit us, driving in from the L.A. area. His name is not at all imaginative, it's just plain--

...Jim, his name is Jim. He drives way out here into no-man's-idea-of-a-place-to-live land, and visits with us for a couple days of rapid fire talk where we three solve all the problems of the world. This time a lot of the conversation was about Hillary and the Donald..

It's pretty darned nice when three adults can sit quietly together and discuss ideas of making the world function better.
Marisol, Jim, and I were at Jessica's coffee shop early yesterday--Sunday-- morning. M. and Jim went with me when I took the old truck to the automatic water station to buy fresh drinking water.

Jim, lives in his family home in Whittier, without the family. Whittier is a suburb of Los Angeles on the East side of L.A.

Jim never married. He's been in love with a woman he used to work with in L.A. who retired about the same time Jim did. The woman then moved to Canada, leaving Jim high and dry. Well, she--Carol-- IS Canadian and has her string of relatives there. Maybe Jim's Carol knows where the bacon rock is located!?

So, Jim is<b> torn </font></b>between staying where he's spent most of his life, or moving up to Niagara Falls on the State's side, to be close to his true love.

Jim is an only and both his parents are dead, so the place in Whittier (worth about a quarter mil), belongs to him and he can do what he wants with it. The house is all paid off.

It's very obvious to me that Jim's love, Carol, doesn't love J. the way J. does Carol.

Jim's 69 and in good health, but he hasn't had many affairs in his life. In my mind, selling his house here, and moving to Niagara Falls would be a huge mistake.

At Jim's age THAT kind of an abrupt change for him would be disastrous. Both Jim and Carol are asexual people, and Jim has a full life here. He dabbles in the stock market now, and does well in it. He also belongs to a number of political groups in Whittier and I could see him running for some minor office in that city and probably winning the seat on some board or council, which would suit his personality fine.

Marisol has enough sense to keep her opinion about Jim's moving or not moving to herself. Of course I've told Jim exactly what I think. I've met Carol, and she's a nice, attractive woman, but I feel she has other interests besides her "friendship" with Jim.

Besides, I'd hate for Jim to leave this area and not be able to visit us in our desert home three or four times a year.

What do you think? Is following a love who's left you high and dry worth it? Do you think splitting from an area where you're comfortably situated at the age of 69 to go follow a person who was once close to you is a smart move?

Jessica and her father, Joseph were delighted that I'd brought Marisol and Jim to their coffee shop for breakfast. The way I normally just had black coffee and ran off, was starting to make Joseph think I didn't trust his cooking..

When Jim went in the restroom, Jessica, beautiful as ever, leaned in to our table where her father wouldn't notice, and told M. and me. My Dad is driving me crazy, I'm so horny-- and I can't do anything with the guys who always come here... My dad watches me like a hawk...!"

Yes, yes,yes ! A big mistake for Jim if he does it... Being desperate for love at his age is a bummer! (Being desperate for love at any age is also pretty sad).
