Today the weather here in Asheville, NC is dismal with drizzly rain and
overcast leading to depressed feelings of loneliness. My pickup still has
problems because I cannot afford the $1300 they wanted so I will be getting
a junkyard rear end for $500 and replacing it myself in the dirt. My shoes
are coming apart, something I had not noticed until I stepped in a puddle
when coming out of a grocery store after spending a lot of money for so few
bags of groceries that I could carry in one trip. The trailer heater is
working hard using up expensive propane. Then the U.S. Mail delivered a
great treat that significantly brightened my day. The latest book by Lloyd
Kahn "Builders of the Pacific Coast" is filled with fantastic pictures of
owner built homes and the builders mostly from Vancouver Island. Homes
built of found materials and whole logs from the woods. Homes that are
eclectic and funky, homes that I wish I could build. A great book.
