[TheForge] Is anyone on-line ? OT: Washed away?

[Peter Fels & Phoebe Palmer]

My last place fell into the Pacific and i still morn it. Living there was wonderful for the likes of me, as long as it lasted.
If i'd owned it, i would have built a structure that might  well have outlived me.
This place will fall to the ocean as well..I'm betting geological time against grey hairs.
The enhanced quality of life i enjoy  by the ocean, makes that decision for me.
Andy can live wherever the fuck he wants (and will tolerate him)..free country ( sorta).
To me, the mistake is failing to build a structure that will weather the weather.
