TOTS
AND YACHTS
Seeking good climate, amazing environment
My first stop on the “2004 Tour” was San Diego, and the sun,
sail and city life put me in rapture. It was a 180° difference from
what I was used to in Alaska. I went from diesel-fumed Carhartts and steel-toe
work boots to a bikini top and bare feet for my workday wear.
The family that I worked for offered me
the use of a 1980’s 3/4 ton black GMC Suburban with surfer stickers
on the tinted windows and chrome step rails. A bitchin’ vehicle.
With their dog Codi as my companion, we would make an occasional trip
to the landfill. I looked forward to the landfill runs because the place
never ceased to amaze me. Who would grasp the scale of garbage that humans
produce until you see it for yourself?
Web
Site Commentary:
San
Diego influenced a change to the Web site design, moving away from a vague
tour theme and onto a sunnier appeal. Projects were featured along with
travel writing, and a few how-to articles were posted.
