prune picker

This is the blog of a prune picker. (Native born Californian) Retired oilfield. I am an old man. I blog a lot about my body and getting old. As I approach death life gets more interesting. More interesting is not good. I still drive. I attend sports, music, and civic events. I am writing my memoirs. I attend swim class three times a week. Some of my blogs might be interesting. A lot of my blogs are silly and trivial. None are very long.

Misc Dana Point pics starring the Wrights.

Here is how Dana Point got its name. Richard Dana wrote "Two years before the mast". In the book he describes seeing cow hides sailed from Dana Point down to the ships below. The hides were called California Greenbacks and were worth a dollar. They were needed in New England for shoes.

Cattle were raised for the hide. The sculpture below is on the hill above Dana Point.


One of the houses below is appraised at 40 million. The property tax is 1/2 million per year.


Public walkway above the house.


My daughter Nancy Wright busy in her quilt room.



Colorful neighborhood.







Son in law Bob Wright. He and Nancy sure do not look 71. I can remember him on the Coalinga High School swimming team.



Grand son Mark Wright is a big man and needs nourishment!



The local store displays the fruits and vegetables in a grand manner.



What if you wanted a pear from the bottom row?
