If you go to the north bay, I highly recommend Monte Rio and Guerneville!
And if you like dive bars — the Forestville Club is the best 👌

My German passport keeps calling me to move, but I’m stubborn and patriotic and will endure the American health industry hellscape so that one day this country actually has a functioning, kind system.
Until then…gotta pre-lube the back door for the inevitable ass reaming 😒

Usually I say Jack Turner’s “ The Abstract Wild” and Jerry Mander’s “In the Absence of the Sacred.”

Why is the shower up front where people, if they stare through the trees, can see me?
1. Downhill slope uses gravity for flow
2. Fit the plumbing materials I already had
3. Shortest distance to run inside & warm up by the stove
4. I wanted an excuse to build a rock wall

Not quite, but my neighbor (with the rescue) just took in 6 more, so I’m grabbing a 4th to stay with me. I told her I’ll take them all 😅

Oui, sauf que le mien est sur un “cadre en métal” pour éviter les insectes et les scorpions. Maintenant que la cabane est terminée, ça ne devrait plus être aussi mauvais, mais je ne vais pas prendre de risques.

Gotcha! My lifelong goal has been nipple length hair, but mine basically stops at the shoulders, with breakage ruining any further growth. K-tips might inevitably be necessary 😭
