I remember early one misty Sunday morning in the 70's . . . I'm walking along Highway 1 when a jogger from campus passes me. Suddenly, a townie in a pickup truck slows down, opens the window, yells "F'n Ru!" and then peens the jogger with a beer bottle (no injury).

I lived there four years in the mid 80s and then have visted again every two or three years since except for 95-2005 but I visited again recently, though not extremely recently. I'll give you some impressions. Stream of consciousness. Flat, and in winter the snow might get a few feet if lucky and people get out cross country skis and out in back of the MIU fieldhouse people ski down the small hill, adults and kids alike, or toboggan. Off HW 4 there's coffee shops and all day people make it a point to stop by and purposely bump into others.. Torino's pizza has square slices which are really good, and they have fried mushrooms which poor students eat with ketchup. Or did I hear they closed? Bummer if true. I ate there last with a Persian woman friend and we discussed our Jyotish and how US media misportrayed Iranians as really religious when in fact she declared they are quite Western altogether and greatly generous people. (Other Iranians bear this out to me). I had met her at Anna Purna one dinner after I was rounding and we hit it off and became fast friends. Same rounding course I had just given up smoking 500 bucks worth ofcracka week then immediately went onto CCP. 15 years ago or more, after I graduated MIU. Same course I hung around my then best MIU friend Ted Wallace and his then girlfriend Summer Love. One winter I remember the trees all were covered with ice and under the moonlight and in the wind it was like soft crackly chimes which glinted with refractions at every softly lit step. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of TurquoiseB Sent: Sunday, February 11, 2007 12:40 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [FairfieldLife] How about a virtual tour of Fairfield? I've only been to Fairfield once, a stopover of a few hours on one of my Road Trips. It was in 1984 or so, driving from Palo Alto to a new life in New York, long after I'd left the TM movement. So, unlike many here, I never really had a chance to get a feel for the place. And I've never wanted to, until I dropped in here and "met" some of the nice people on this forum who live there or have lived there. But you've got me curious, so much so that I might even come for a visit next time I'm in the US. So I'm wondering if any of you folks feel up to writing a little bit about Fairfield, The Place, as if you were writing for a "spiritual tourist" who didn't know much about the place but was think- ing of visiting? Y'know...what are the Don't Miss places in town, and why...that sorta stuff. Thanks in advance.
