Almost Done

 This is my sweet spot.

Things are definitely cluttered on the inside. But it's part of working toward being organized.

Kids in the Loft, Lights that Turn On

Getting a few things taken care of. Thanks to neighbor to the west, Eric, for helping me put the final connections in place for the electric.

Thanks to neighbors to the east, Jamie, Joselyn, and Anthony, for coming by with their curiosity and for frequently asking, "Are you going to finish today?"

Nice sleepovers with friends. Comfortable to be in, just need to get to that trim if it's going to be gotten to. Already slipping into living-in, makes sight of the to-do-list a little murky.

A Place in Santa Rosa or Petaluma?

I'm still looking. Don't you know someone / someplace that I might be able to park? Just until May?

Still looking...

Or I'd like to move to Petaluma

Anyone with a spot?

I'd like to move to Santa Rosa.

Hello,

I'd like to move to Santa Rosa for the months of February, March, April, and perhaps a bit of May. These months, besides gardening at my parents house and being with them and friends in Healdsburg, everything I'm doing in life is based in Santa Rosa: work, etching, dance, bilingual & collaborative theatre, and starting as a co-mediator. Simply, I could do without the 40min-1hr bus between H and SR.

I'd like to move somewhere in SR so I can resume my bicycle lifestyle. I'd like to move somewhere where there is garden space, if possible...

Anyone?

Another Siding Day and . . .

Photo shows the southern wall I worked on today.

Also, it's seeming like I have found a place to move, and I may move as early as January. This gave me new energy to get-out-there and move ahead with the trim, flashing, and siding.

I have great appreciation for the people condensed in Copenhagen who are boldly stating the reality of the climate crisis and that western lifestyles cannot go on as before. There is undoubtedly a global movement, and if your news source isn't covering it, look wider. There is so much to learn.

Looking around I often think about how destructive the status quo in this land is, and wonder what impact I can have on encouraging myself and others to have less of an impact.

The Maldives and so many other islands will be submerged by rising ocean waters. Are the actions you take to minimize your impact radical enough? How destructive is the status quo to which you compare your actions?
