The coast makes me smile!

So even if there is a sea wall and a whole mess of huge boulders between your yard and deck and that little bit of sand which shows itself only at low tide for a few minutes, it is nothing that a bunch of lumber and concrete can’t manage.

There have been two massive slides in La Conchita, one in 1995 and again in 2005. The 1995 slide damaged 9 homes. However, the slide in 2005 destroyed 13 homes, damaged another 18 and caused 10 deaths. So, what do you do in California? You put up a warning sign. You would think that a sign like this in a neighborhood would destroy property values. Not here. We saw a 2 bedroom 1,350 square foot home on 41 feet of ocean front footage - $2.5 million. Go figure.
 

It’s probably a good thing that lot in that home is way too small to put in a swimming pool. From what we can tell along the coast the humans don’t get much opportunity to use the pools. These guys seem to have them all to themselves.

Check out who’s driving this cute little motorhome. We have been walking by this rig several times a day but they never come out to chat. What a bunch of stiffs!
 

I am not sure that the Woman can keep her speed down in this curve on the bike path in order to comply with the warning sign. But I asked her extra special to try. We saw another sign indicating that speed was being monitored by radar, and I don’t want no speeding tickets!

Talk to you soon!
