I rented a small cottage on the periphery of the mighty Pacific Ocean, near the diminutive town of Medocino, in Occupied Fornicalia.
A video I made of the essence of the ocean:
Serene, muted, decisive, honest, true and solemn.
My dog, Teddy, at alert. What he’s seeing, below.

Wonderful buck, directly below the cottage (in the cove), less than twenty yards from a pounding Pacific Ocean.
The village of Mendocino, Fornicalia.
US Coast Guard MH-65 Dolphin helo, manufactured by Eurocopter, is a twin-engined turbine powered variant of the French-built Eurocopter AS365 Dauphin. This helo was assigned to look for a possible jumper from the Big River Bridge.
USCG’s 47′ motor lifeboat cruises around the area where the “jumper” may have been. Unfounded call. Code 4.
The gazebo directly outside the cottage window. Cove behind, 100′ down.
The fog, creeping in on little cats’ feet.
Speaking of little cats’ feet: the owner’s older gray cat at the gazebo.
Rocking with the rollers.
Alone in a vast sea.
The beautiful Pacific Ocean.
Noyo Harbor from the north.
Yesterday was our last day in the cottage — a wondrous ten days en vacanza. Today is a driving day and then, heavy sigh, back to the salt mines.

Such a beautiful place… The upper Cal coast, Northern Cal, the high elevations over I-80, makes me wish ALL of Cal was like that… I know why you love Cali BZ, I felt that way when I 1st went there, 33 years ago California really was a great place…
That was a long time ago.. 🙁
That’s the thing that has me most perplexed; it’s such a beautiful state, one that doesn’t deserve its current treatment. At one time it was the FOURTH largest economy on the PLANET, and the THE finest educational system in the nation as well.
Now it has slugs, parasites, illegal Mexicans, nuts, various fruit units, Free Cheesers, and wishes to IMPORT even more.
