Clay: Amazing, Creative House, Canyon, Kids of Hippies

I saw an amazing, creative, house-invention this evening, with wonderful decks and porches, as well, ~ perched in a forest with an incredible view. It may have been an artistic project in progress over many years, - in Canyon, California. There was so much wood, and so many unique spaces, windows and roof lines. It must have been very fun to build.

The new friends whom I met this evening were, in large part, the children of hippies, and they weren't doing the hippie thing. It's fascinating. They're mostly engaging 'normative' greater-San Francisco Bay Area, California, behavior, instead of questioning it and making the questioning practice or 'normative,' while living in a beautiful, fascinating house, in a community which most people from 'outside' would consider hippie.

I found out this evening that Janis Joplin and Country Joe MacDonald {"And it's one, two, three, what are we fighting for?"} had lived in or near Canyon.
