Hopefully, Neil will at some point share Pearl’s other opus when he’s done hanging with the hippies in Mendocino or making his estranged wife, Sophia, take baths without water.

As I sit here in my small office in the middle of the cultural wasteland (but I have a great view on a sub-power station mind!) my mind is enticed by your fantastic pictures and witty account of 'life on the road'...

HA! I'm laughing about the mud baths. I've never done them there, but I have seen the place...and yes, it's not at ALL what one would expect. You wanna know what's manly? Standing on the beach at Point St. George with the wind blowing about 40 miles an hour...and that's on a good day. ;) Wow, Churlita used to live in Standish and Hickey...now THAT'S cool. My mate is (unbelievably) playing a gig in Phillipsville next month. (That will only mean something to those who know the more obscure spots in No. Calif.)

Guess I know what I'll be doing over this summer. And didn't y'all know that many of the folks in Mendocino County voted to not uphold the Patriot Act? Of course I live in a city that had a resolution on the ballot in November asking that Bush be impeached. So maybe y'all might want to skip a stop here as well.

Isn't that the truth! I went wine tasting in upstate New York (which I highly recommend, by the way) and by the third stop, we were trying to figure out where we were gonna stay for the night, because there was no way there could be more driving. “How many wineries can one visit and still safely drive those windy country roads?”
