And I’d want to move to some wretched hive of scum and villainy like Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Europe, etc. … why, exactly?

You have a lenticular cloud in photo 2.

Starbucks?
Point 1: I don’t drink coffee. Bleah.
Point 2: How many *dollars* does Starbucks charge for a cup of coffee?
> lenticular cloud
Nope. Just randomly vaguely eliptical. Lenticulars form over mountains and such; this is just a standard cloud out in the middle of nowhere.
Is that a stream or a large pond?
It’s a stream. “Salt Creek.”
There is a Starbuck’s in Thacher!
For the low crime rates, great job opportunities, low cost of living, and beautiful scenery?

I actually like the city because there’s lots to see/do and because you can find anything you need. But I understand the realities 🙂
I’ve seen lenticular clouds out here in North Dakota on rare occasions, and this place is as flat as a billiard table.
It has to do with moist air being swept up to high altitudes by an updraft, and then back down again. Normally it’s due to going over the top of a mountain, but an updraft can be generated by a strong high-pressure cold front passing through, normally associated with high surface winds.
A sure giveaway to the phenomena is the fact that the cloud is constantly forming on one side and dissipating on the far side from that point, as well as its basically circular shape. Note how different the cloud looks from the scattered Cirrus clouds above it and the little line of Altocumulus clouds right next to it.
