not the invisible."

Oscar Wilde

Saturday night friends invited us to dinner at their campsite

on the Owens river...

"What's the use of a fine house if you haven't got a tolerable planet to put it on?"

Henry David Thoreau

This is the community of Crowley Lake...some pretty nice houses for some pretty great 

prices right now...(sadly, because of the realty downturn)...

but what do you think...

is this a tolerable location???

Do be sure to check out the other participants in Our World Tuesday!!!

I've begun to post again on

Continuing in the Eastern Mediterranean with Pompeii...

My World Started in California...



"California here I come, 

right back where I started from..."

Did you know that California Here I Come is the unofficial state song of California?

It was written in 1921 for the Broadway musical Bombo with Al Jolson, by Buddy DeSylva

and Joseph Meyer.

No matter where I've lived, I've always been a Californian...

We're spending a few days in Sacramento, the state captitol of California...
