Hi folks,

Ran out of money, more or less, and took hyperspace again to get to my sister’s place here in Long Beach. Some exceptionally brutal and interesting riding down Salinas valley to avoid the Pacific Coast Highway closure from the Big Sur fire, on which, more later. Spending today recovering from the train ride and hard riding, and writing, and then I should be able to catch up. That will have to be the last update as far as travel, I’m afraid, since I can’t really afford anymore.

As it is, though, I’m whole and healthy except for a teeny bit of sunburn on my legs and a slightly down attitude. Talk again soon!
