We just got back from a late lunch where we had the excellent company of ThatDamnedPanda. Let Me tell you, this was a lot of fun. It was something that had been talked about during Panda's trip to CA and it became a reality today. There was even an extra stroke of luck that Mister P got to come along as well!
I had a great time. There was a chance to talk about all kinds of things about different subjects under the sun. It was one of those opportunities where "lunch" probably wouldn't have covered it. Even when lunch was over, we still stayed talking outside and I *still* was chatting a mile a minute. LOL.
Thank you, Panda, for coming out our way to say hello. We had a great time and we hope it won't be the last!
It will not be the last, I can guarantee that. I just wish i had more time on this trip, but honestly, I don't think it will be much longer before we have unlimited opportunities.
I'm closer today than I've ever been to moving out here. The day after we had lunch, I had breakfast with Vendaval and drove up into the Sierra Madres for a day of hiking, and I was so swept away by the beauty of the place that I stopped at several places to check out real estate. Then I drove over the Sierra Madres to the Carrizo Plains, between the Caliente Range and the Temblor Range, and looked at some lots in the foothills of the Temblors. I don't know if I've ever seen anything so beautiful in my life... I'm just not sure i want to build a house directly on top of a part of the San Andreas that averages one 8.0 every 100 years, and hasn't had a quake in 150 years. Especially in the foothills of a mountain range that's named after the Spanish word for "earthquake." I mean, the fault would literally run right through my backyard, but what the hell. Everything in life is a gamble. And besides, the fault looks kind of cool. It has a rather macabre aesthetic appeal.
We might be sorta neighbors pretty soon after all. Meanwhile, it was a pure pleasure meeting you guys, and an unexpected treat to meet you both. You're both such nice people, so easy to be around, i could have stayed and talked until they called the police to come and throw us out. I hated to say goodbye. If nothing else, I'll catch you next month at that little thing in San Francisco, whatever it's called, and we can take Venatrix out and get her tanked in that limo. Thanks for a wonderful lunch, and I'll talk with you soon!
