Brother Andrew, you forgot to mention the earthquakes and the plague of raining frogs along our central coast of California.

JB, there is much that I am not saying, which is still a lot more than you, Sir. Pynchon was from Long Island. You have had quite a life old man. Inherent Vice on steroids - your end.

I think the statute of limitations might cover a third of those crimes. You could at least put up some of them. Your photographs alone are priceless.

The traveler come home.

It’s a beautiful place to be, after all. All of the all…

Thank you, Patris. I am home, or as close to home as I can afford to be.

There’s a lot more to say about achieving a sense of contentment than we ever thought (or would have acknowledged) when we were young.

Yes. I dreamed of just this, but I never thought I would achieve peace. Who doesn't wish the country was not such a mess? (Oh, I am sure half the planet is fine with us biting it) - The feed is mind-numbing.

And I thought I never wanted it once - like an idiot..
