Eartha Kitt and Heath Ledger will be in purgatory, start some small talk, and find out that the both played major supporting characters in a Batman movie. It's sort of like when you or I travel, and we meet someone from the Cape in LA ir something.

lol Monponsett... that happened to me a few years back, I was going to New Mexico for a week and dont you know, a guy from the bus station rode up with me, flew with me and even shared the same cab with me to Los Alamos. So much for getting away ;-) However, he declined to climb the hills and caves of Bandolier.

About This Blog

This is a blog about the observations and events I witness on this sandy peninsula after several decades of working, thinking, feeling and writing about the quality of life here. My biases will no doubt show, I am neither conservative nor liberal and have a strong interest in public affairs, local politics, schools and religion.
