Life in North CA/South OR

 Spent some time driving to a vineyard/tasting room near US199 along the CA/OR border. The smell of growing/flowering Cannabis was strong as we drove. Our server in the tasting room talked freely about growing and using Cannabis. It was nice and I expect a result of weed being legal for years. Her husband also works for a vineyard but she doesn't drink, just smokes. For some reason I find that amusing.

We are in the middle of "June gloom" on the coast and have seen little sun for weeks except when driving a few miles inland. The tasting patio, about an hour inland, was nice with sunshine, swans and geese on the pond and a cheese plate with some very nice wine. A good way to get away from the gloom. 

One month almost down, three to go before returning to Tucson.

Happy Juneteenth

Not that I had anything to do with it but it feels good after years of advocating making Juneteenth a national holiday. I tell folks it isn't just celebrating a  Black holiday but instead celebrating the U.S. trying to live up to the Declaration of Independence for the first time. In a just world it would be as important as the 4th of July.

We are in the moterhome on the Oregon coast through September, not a lot to write about other than retired life is good.
