How Time Flies...when you're having fun

Almost a year since we last posted. Very busy trying simply to survive the financial tsunami and it's continued economic malaise; finding housing. A lot of new material has come out of this experience, however. We hear of "the homeless" and our eyes start to glaze over. Not THEM again !! Let's get something straight...there, but for the grace of God go YOU. And it COULD happen to you if you don't stay alert. Even now, the financial markets are being juiced by the big players on the money train. Investment Banks, holding companies and others are deciding how they are going to engineer the next "crash" so they can sell short again and prosper while millions will be losing their homes; this one will result in a truly 'classless' society. We shall ALL be poor and indentured to those who will have long since departed our shores for the economic safety of the Caymans, Costa Rica or Dubai
Anyhoo, as I started to say, we've had a self-imposed deadline to get this blog up and running again. Being an urban camper has resulted in a wealth of material about the people we've met, the places we've been along the way. We've seen much beauty and generosity, but sadly, much negative at the same time. 
A couple of shout-out's to some people we've met along the way. Each of them gets their own special treatment, pics (when it is financially doable), "Uncle Eddie" up near Chicano Park here in San Diego is one of them. The small shop-keeper - Wal*Mart can't stop 'em! I love it !
A big shout to my friends and compatriots over at The Huffington Post. Missed you much. Back now for keeps.
This time last year saw us in Palm Desert, CA. Now we're in San Diego. Ambivalent now as there is much to laud about this Seaport Village all grown up/not all grown up. There's also a lack of creative spark like that which inspired me in Coachella. No Mt. San Jacinto. No McCallum Theatre. 
Are these the opening paragraphs of another "Tayle of Two Citees"?
Time will tell. Drop us a comment. We moderate as time permits, hopefully income will grant us more time and we shall all be fat and happy little cherubin...
