The boxes overflow a 6 foot truck bed. I took them to my brother then I brought them back on a trade for my kids. One day I will move and bookshelf a room to display them along with all my hardback non collector edition especially Unintended Consequences.<br /><br />Funny story a book about Frank Eaton the real pistol pete was sought by one of my dads friends as a gift for him. He called the historical society looking to source an original. The man told him to contact $%&&^ $^##(& my dad. He did not know he had five first edition copies already.<br /><br />Thank you for what you do.

It's amazing that San Clemente used to be big mansions with few people and Oxnard was farms when I was a kid. It breaks my heart that it is wall to wall houses and McMansions where my mom took me hiking through forest-like areas and we would stop to pet the loose horse. Looking at California from a 1940's angle-no wonder it was the place of dreams. My mom's family in Ohio thought she was spinning stories about desert lizards and the ocean and farms. There are still hinterlands here in the Golden State, you just need to know where to look. Nothing says a life well lived like your own septic, well, and solar.
