Bye-Bye Eureka

Saying goodbye to Eureka as we fly out on December 10th for our new Hawaii hale (house.) The hardest part is saying our last farewells to good friends and neighbors.  What a grand adventure we have had for 22 years here -- creating a successful business, buying our first house...and waiting long enough to sell both and see our retirement off to an amazing start.

Humble thanks to Gary Todoroff who does amazing aerial photography and captured this great shot of Eureka and Humboldt Bay.  Go see his entire portfolio at:

 ALOHA!!! ON TO THE NEXT ADVENTURE.

Call in GANESH!! (...or not**)

WOW!  This is a BIG mudslide even for Humboldt County -- just south of Garberville.  News reports indicate it may be 2-3 days total closure with some one-lane use by then....hopefully.

YES, this affects us BIG TIME.  Phil and Jerebob were to be driving our new VERSA car down on Tuesday to Oakland.  And, our big-ass moving container was to arrive on Thursday from the Bay Area.

SO, once again an opportunity to "practice detachment" because this obstacle is WAY to big for us.  We are working out contingencies with all parties involved.  All is good.

"Paging GANESH....will GANESH please come to the the white courtesy phone.....


**HOLD THE PRESSES!!  This was a test!  We got it!  It pays to remain detached as there may be "false prophets" among us...or at least unconfirmed sources.  So, come to find out, the report of the landslide was from March 2011.  "Poof" OBSTACLE GONE!   Ganesh prevails!
