Day Before (leaving PT for Seattle)
Skys are gray but warm, precipitation was evident the past couple of days, here at headquarters in Port Townsend.
My friends Bill and Mindy are drying off from the cold cold shower the bulldozer guys just gave them in their back yard, in the name of Habitat for Humanity. Unfortunately that doesn't include birds and deer, they are all wandering around looking for their nests as the diesel engines roar in the background. My friends Doug and Nancy are hosting a meeting at their home to up date local citizens on the Navy's latest efforts to candycoat their weapons handling and nuclear safety issues at Indian Island Navel Ordinance Depot just across the little bay from our town.
My oldest child is simultaniously selling his interest in one internet company while creating interest in another (social network, yeah!) all down in little old LA. My daughter Sophia is riding her bike, riding the train, or riding a magic carpet somewhere in Southern California on her work/vacation before moving to NYC. Bad/Good Boy Noah is off educating himself in Sweden and elsewhere as a continuation of his unfinished romp of 2004. Wife Penny is nursing our dear dog Francis with his swollen head (kitty Lucy is fine).
Sister Barbara is working on her house in Mexico, Brother David is working on his house in Spain, Brother Chris is working on other people's houses in SB and elsewhere. The grand mom of us all is perched on the beautiful ridge of SB overlooking the safe spot we all keep in our minds.
It is in the midst of all of this that I find myself helping out cher amis Barbara and Claude who have recently bought a place on the island of Moorea. I am an itinerant artist and carpenter, occasionally specializing in carousels and small sustainable hybrid housing. Saturday morning I fly to Honolulu, change planes and on to Papeete, Tahiti for one month.
Here is a photo from the website of the little hotel next to Barbara and Claude's land. http://www.lestipaniers.com/cadres21.htm

The hotel's webpage photo of Moorea from the air makes it so very plain how the island continues to exist only because of its protective reef. Yet we are told that climate change/acidification of ocean could result in worldwide coral annihilation within the next century. Without the reef, Moorea would be quickly chewed to pieces by the pounding surf. Well, maybe the melting of Antarctic ice will slow the acidification...
Vaya con Dios!
