Our neighbors are engaging in the ancient art of backyard camping. Karen and Charlie are going on a river trip and decided to hone their camping skills by pitching the tent and roasting supper on a campfire in the backyard. Love it!
Greg sent me the following article from Fortune on some of the world’s most exclusive yachts. The first one, Octopus, which is around $400 million is one of the several yachts owned by Paul Allen, former partner in Microsoft. http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2012/fortune/1205/gallery.million-dollar-megayachts.fortune/ Cathy and I saw it in Dart Mouth, (that is, on the mouth of the River Dart in England many years ago. It even has its own web page http://www.octopusyacht.net/
The winds did come through today…maybe not hurricane force, but VERY high winds. The wind brought so much dust from New Mexico that the moon is distinctly orange tonight! (Breaking News: it’s not dust, rather it’s smoke from the forest fires in the Gila National Forest just north of Gene Daniel’s place. 110,000 acres!)
