great, jr!... just what this place needs... a gold rush of canucks!
alice... what gave me the idea is the place itself... and having found it and being lucky enough to be able to live here, after 10 years of homeless world-wandering... glad you like my work... for more, just browse my site at will...
thanks pen... actually much of my work is pretty 'different' in construction, but i'm guessing you meant in pov... i do have contented contemplative moments from time to time, hard as that may be to believe... this was one of them...
tef:
How are the conveniences there?
...fairly convenient, thanks...
I am sure you have running water, electricity.
...some of the time... no hot water, but the cold-ish part works... power goes off now and then for minutes to hours at a time, but that just gives me a break from the world news i keep on most of the day...
Is it small enough that you don't need a car?
...for
me, it is, since my apt is within walking distance of the shops i need most for groceries... for others, i always can get a ride from my friendly apt caretaker... it's actually about 10 by 5 miles in size...
I remember reading WWII documentaries describing the place built up by the Japanese as a small base.
...it's the place where the a-bombs were loaded onto enola gay and its partner, before being dropped on hiroshima and nagasaki... the peaceful local chamorro population was relocated and returned years after the war... it's a lovely place now, with no sign of war other than a small remnant of a ruin or two...
wayne... hey, nothing's keeping you there, right?... a one-way plane ticket is just under a thousand bucks, if you catch expedia/travelocity/whatever right... living here is cheap and wonderfully simple... let me know when you'll arrive, and i'll come meet you at the dock or what passes for an airport...
hugs to all, m
