My Bucket List
My Bucket List
Went to a memorial service yesterday for a friend who actually passed
while watching "The Bucket List". It was a sad affair, with estranged
family showing up and feeling bad. The bright spot was the adult
daughter who was most worried that her wacky dad would have died alone
without friends. After the military service we went to his partners
house for a small reception. Ha. At about 150 artists, musicians,
poets, writers and artsy souls his daughter, who lives out of state,
was astonished. Her dad had been military intel and was a difficult
guy in her youth. But you could see the relief in her entire being
when all his friends showed up for a little celebration of his life.
We all knew him as a poet which just floored her. Which got me to
thinking of the things I need to get done before I head to that big
show.....
I wanna play in Barry's basement or wherever he keeps his toys.
I wanna sit in Danny's fields and meet his chums and talk to his
customers.
I wanna eat avacados again from Cea and Bob's coffee orchard.
I wanna walk into al's shop and say my perculator won't perk and can
he fix it.
I wanna take Maddie for a ride in the big firetruck and let her
squirt the hose and push the buttons and honk the big horn.
I wanna drink another beer with Doug C., Jack D., Dr.Gomez, Marshall
F., Greg S., Don S., Shane O., and all the rest of you.
I wanna raise my glass to Maddie P. with all of her alt friends. You
know who you are.

Re: My Bucket List
We feel totally honored to be on your list Bernie.Thank you!
FYI the avocados are just ending. Wild pigs are getting the last but
it has been a luscious season for the Sharwils. In August the yummy
Kahuluu variety will begin. Now maybe our Border Collie can trim down
to a more svelte size for 2 months! Her nickname is "avocado breath".
Hope all is really wonderful with you and MaryAnn.

Re: My Bucket List
Bernie, did you make it to the SCAA convention in Mpls this year? I
ran into a few people from alt.coffee, but not as many as I would have
like to. I guess that I should have attended the entire weekend...

Didn't make it this year. Things were a little crazy. My two
grandsons live in Mpls so I'd loved to have gotten organized enough to
go.

I was talking to my sister last weekend, telling her about Bernie's
"Bucket List" and how nice it was to be included:). And then Bernie,
she told me her "Bucket List", shared with her SO, is to go to the
"Lightning Rod" or something to do with lightning in New Mexico.
Apparently it is a rare but super spectacular occurrence. Can you
steer me to any info? Thanks Bernie!

Here is the link, Cea. http :// www .lightningfield.org/
Reservations are several years in advance. Never have been so I can
only relate that folks that have been consider it pretty amazing.
There is also one of the world's leading lightening research facilites
at NM Tech in Soccoro. They fire small rockets with wires attached up
into thunderstorms and gather data. Pretty remarkable stuff also. I've
seen a number of videos of their work. When the lightning strikes the
wire becomes a mile long filament for a second powered by millions of
volts. We are now in monsoon so they are firing every day I'd guess.

Thank you Bernie!! That is exactly the place. I've sent it on to my
sister. Think we 4 will plan a trip whenever it works out well.
Monsoon kind of here too. Pouring rain, muddy dogs, but coffee is
happy:)
I appreciate the info and let you know what we do.
