He wouldn't even look at that one because of the 422 commute into the city , but we were out in that area yesterday kayaking and it's really beautiful.

Off-hours, 422 is no problem. You lose 15 mins if you go inbound from 7:15 am - 9 am. You lose 15 mins if you go outbound from 4 pm - 6 pm.
Of course since there is no passenger rail and they continue to build out this way, those times will expand. |

i actually wrote this the other day, thinking about being a lighthouse keeper...how weird is that?
island keeper black water crashes around me like moses i stand stone platform out of the depths caught between liquid and night slicker alive in the wind wet slap staccato against my legs for one absurd moment i imagine myself a god throwing my arms to the sky stirring the storm leaping in yellow light, my shadow thrown onto brutal rock mocks my power i turn away sharply my back to the churning sea inhale the mist and the salt stride through the great wooden doors. i hold the ocean.

On second thought, I'd probably be better off in a windmill. Or my original plan of a decommissioned silo.
It was the grocery anecdote that made up my mind.

Every time I open this thread, I start humming that weird old Erika Eigen song, "I Wanna Marry a Lighthouse Keeper"...

But I already live 130 metres above sea level with uninterrupted sea views from west-south-west to south-east ...

With a bottle of W(h)iskey, peat fire and a cute lamb. Sounds like heaven.

Don't forget to factor in the cost of a dehumidifier.

Can't you just leave some of those silica gel packets on the stairs?
