Been there, theres not a lot to see beyond the fire station and a memorial to veterans. I first heard about it in an article about the movie Silent Hill and how the producers discovered a town that was covered in fog like the fictional city. There is actually a pretty cool This American Life episode about it: http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/59/fi...

Why not both?

the reporter notebook is perfect and you can dump the notebook in a pool, and the paper will still be dry.

Sorry to hear about the weight on your chest.

I overcame my own depression years ago but I help others when I can. Elvis said, "I believe the key to happiness is: someone to love, something to do and something to look forward to." I'm not a big Elvis fan but if you agree with the quote, then what is missing from your life? That's a good place to start.

For books, I'd recommend reading Epictetus' Discourses, he was raised a slave and became a great teacher, Way of The Peaceful Warrior by Dan Millman and Siddhartha by Herman Hesse.
