Everything was so green....the grasses and redwood come alive this time of year...flowers everywhere...crashing waves...whales puttering by in the distance against the Monterrey Mountains...funny sea birds...Santa Cruz characters....two California blonde 7 years old girls---by themselves--in wet suits, crossing the street with surfboards (not boogie boards) on their heads, heading toward the cliffs where they'd climb down to catch some world class swells at day's end before dinner, with probably 200 other local people, as per ritual this time of the year---glistening moss on rocks---people doing tai chi by the water---guy sitting on a dune playing guitar--another guy asks "Hey, would you happen to be stoked to do some interesting alternative type of work from home?"--I say "No thanks - but could you take my picture?" he smiles and says "Right on."

Last day in California (for awhile...)
Spent the day in former Santa Cruz stomping ground yesterday prior to moving to the desert, which will be fun and beautiful in its own right...but very different.

...Most beautiful girl I ever seen in my life
but now she's gone!
but now she's gone!
Guess the girl just had to keep walking on
Ohhh!
. . . . . . . . . .
Ohhh!
. . . . . . . . . .
Oh my god we got some Obama flags--
I don't boast and I don't brag--
Whatever you can see me -- 2 for 5?
But we also got art--
that kinda looks like graffiti.
that kinda looks like graffiti.
All done by me, it's only me!
I'm an artist--broke my heartest.
And I'm out here tryin' a find me a goddess.
Ooooh, yes I am!
Ain't nothing like a sister for the black man -- WHOAAAA!"
