The picture to the right is the ultimate in beachfront property - it's so beachfront that it's in front of the beach. If you squint you can see the rollers coming in the front door. This picture appeals to me in so many ways it's
hard to pick one to talk about. The incongruity of a tilting beach house (villa really) in the ocean begs the story of how it got into this predicament. I heard that an earthquake caused to slide into the surf, but it sounded like that wasn't the whole story. It looks more like Fordlandia story to me, at least in the hubris of the creation. If you don't know the story of Fordlandia, Google it, it's worth a few minutes. If you do, go to "Images" search; there are some great pictures there.
Last night's bread disaster is now only a bad memory - on to another loaf. We've already screwed up the recipe so let's see how this one goes. In the meantime, it's time to shift gears into birthday gift mode for friend Pam.
So until next: Hasta la bye bye from Street Level!!
