I've always wanted a beautiful place. It looks like I may be getting just that. California has it's Coastal Commission. It's sort of ironic in a way. But I've always valued a beautiful coast. Just go to some areas of Oregon, and there are premanufactured pieces of crap plopped right on the beach. It's elitist of me to be so judgmental, but I do like a modicum of thought and consideration for those who come after. A certain aesthetic sense. Something the conservative mind can't grasp, I think. And here I find myself looking at a piece of land that's in that coastal zone. It's an interesting thing. One that really exemplifies the difference between liberal and conservative thinking. I can't build within 100 feet of certain rare plant species, etc. And even though it's a monumental task, I am glad it is there.

I'm curious what you are doing. Are you a planner? Or just doing the same thing I'm doing?
