dharm: If you dig deep, based on your opening comments of your latest entry, I think you will find you suffer from a “superiority complex” – you feel superior to the “typical” Temecula demographic. This is not an uncommon feeling and part of the human experience.

One of the most fundamental needs is for humans to feel unique and even superior – that’s why many people choose to become police, aspire to high level positions, drive large SUV’s and lifted trucks…the list goes on and on.

Now, I will admit I may have a similar problem – pardon my expression, but I don’t really like living around most rednecks (no, I won’t define who is a redneck) and Temecula is full of rednecks/desert rats in all of their glorious forms. So are parts of San Diego, and Murrieta, and El Cajon, etc…

But I have learned that this is really my problem, not theirs and usually when I get to know people all of that baggage I carry disappears.

Try getting to know your neighbors – your not the only college educated family without kids in Temecula who enjoys the arts – not by a long shot.

Also, Temecula has a wonderful arts center in Old Town that is quite active.
