And so it begins ... Balsa Man, A Diminute Effigy For A Reduced Community
Folks I know remember the original Burning Man events out on Baker Beach and ... refuse to go to the what-now-it-is experience out in the Nevada desert.
(Shout out! to Don who's off on his post-significant-bday Burning Man experience! and to those folks his nibs worked with in the Exploratorium tech haven who are burners in their off-hours!)
Here is an alternative this Saturday out at Baker Beach for those in town.
We'll be up at Donner Lake with the Bixby Creek crowd who soon (well, now, obviously) will no longer have a Bixby Creek place to gather because our illustrious hosts are selling their place and none of the rest of us -- much as we love the place and the memories -- have the wherewithal to buy it.
Alas.

Bertold Brecht:
Everything changes. You can make
A fresh start with your final breath.
But what has happened has happened. And the water
You once poured into the wine cannot be
Drained off again.
