Goodbye to a neighbor

[mtbc]

This lunchtime I drank a beer with an ex-neighbor. They sold their house, loaded their pickup truck with their most desired possessions, and are off to Northern California to buy a fifth-wheel trailer and live among the redwoods. Sounds nice. They're retired, thinking about supplementing their social security income by teaching guitar. With luck, it will work out idyllically.

That sounds lovely. Although, I'm not sure living among the redwoods now is a great idea. Wildfires have gotten increasingly worse in Northern California in the last five years.

I'd have gone to the northeast, it's cold, but hey no forest fires.

Heh, maybe he's smarter than I realized to be planning a mobile kind of abode.

Wow. I hope it all works out wonderfully for them!

I had relatives who, upon retirement, bought a fifth wheel and went around to nat'l parks working as docents for half the year or more. I don't know if they sold their house or later bought a new one when they got too old for that lifestyle.

That sounds a really nice idea.
