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.

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.
