condos on a sand bar, what could possibly go wrong? that guy walking across the ocean in a presurized hamster wheel was doing something interesting. i like boats almost as much as trains, that constant sense of motion. weather is a big factor for anything not on solid ground though. if it can float and keep floating while being battered, that's pretty good though. cities on a beach, so many reasons not such a good idea. cities i understand resteraunts, libraries, public transit, but wanting to be all the time where there's ever not a human voice that can be heard if you have good ears for out in nature, to want to have to be around so many people all the time. not in my dreams. i love a cozy labrynth, but prefeably a quiet mysterious one. sea makes some kinds of caves, but too often fills them with itself. fingols cave on staffa near sky, but those haystack rocks off thiland or somewhere in south east asia, i forget where. there are places along coast highway one in northern california. those were my dad's favorites. there was a bunch of indiginous guys with a keg in the evening north of mendacino that time. boardwalks are for food vendors, and feeding feral cats.
