After a Friday morning of marketing brainstorming with my man Kevin Votel of Publishers Group West, I went to see my wheelchair-bound friend Sherman in Oakland. Even though Sherm pretty much can’t move any of his limbs, he still manages to play jokes and practice mischief. From there I headed up to see my friend Louie on the Mendocino coast, with a diversion to Harbin Hot Springs to soak in the hot hot pool where the water comes in at about 110° straight out of the canyon. While there I shot this photo of the temple built by SunRay Kelley, a masterpiece of natural and sustainable materials and organic design. Right now I’m in Louie’s studio looking out on a sunny meadow against a backdrop of redwoods and hooked up via a s-l-o-w modem. Such are the compromises of being in the beauty of the country.

Hey Lloyd I read about you on the loaded blog and I have to say that you might be the coolest old guy I have ever met!
Keep it up my brother!
Lloyd:
Maybe you know the answer to this question: one time I flew over the Coast Range of Mendocino and Sonoma, and it seemed that in the southern Mendocino County portion of the range, I saw a big structure, domed and gilded, at the top of the range facing mostly west. I assumed it to be the Moonies' temple? Do you know?
coastroad,
It's huge and expensive looking from the road. I forget what group it is, but it's not Moonies.
