On tonight’s walk:
This little SUV looked so tuned in. Maybe it’s a surfer with a tiny home.

Beach was wind-swept and people-less as the storm hovered offshore, except for the lovers hanging out on the groin. Tall dark handsome guy “…from Switzerland,” pretty, good-vibes California girl, a nice couple. I love a deserted beach.


“All the leaves are brown,
And the sky is grey…” – Mamas and Papas on Sirius ’60s radio right now. You know, this is a pretty good song.
About Lloyd Kahn
Lloyd Kahn started building his own home in the early '60s and went on to publish books showing homeowners how they could build their own homes with their own hands. He got his start in publishing by working as the shelter editor of the
Whole Earth Catalog with Stewart Brand in the late '60s. He has since authored six highly-graphic books on homemade building, all of which are interrelated. The books, "The Shelter Library Of Building Books," include
Shelter,
Shelter II (1978),
Home Work (2004),
Builders of the Pacific Coast (2008),
Tiny Homes (2012), and
Tiny Homes on the Move (2014). Lloyd operates from Northern California studio built of recycled lumber, set in the midst of a vegetable garden, and hooked into the world via five Mac computers. You can check out videos (one with over 450,000 views) on Lloyd by doing a search on YouTube:
California Dreamin' – it's a great song, it really hit home if you were living through the long Northeast winters.
That surf car belongs to a great friend of mine, Jeff, who lives in Mill Valley in a not-so-tiny home. He'd appreciate the sentiment though 🙂
