Webster's Dictionary defines home as one's place of residence. Well, this one goes out to the time when I called the Hotel Whitcomb, in San Francisco; EZ-8 Motel, in southern Alameda County; and the Crystal Springs Rest Area, in San Mateo County-- Home, And Home.
When I first got off Muni, I walked my very first steps [as an SFSU Radio & TV Major] at my university heading to...University Housing. Long story short, housing and I weren't on the same page, so I had no where to live. Not having / owning any form of transportation, and the [little] money I had [from FAFSA], I hopped back on Muni, went Downtown, and walked, and walked, and...walked, until I was done. I ended up on the otherside of the Union Square Mall, and then I heard gunshots; the time for me to get to steppin' was a necessity, so I ended up in a badass historic hotel; "...$159.99 a night?? I just head gunshots...cut me a deal, man, please.......Alright, I'll pay ya $139.99 a night, because I'm tired............Make it for 2 nights, because I need to get my act together and figure out some things..."
I couldn't [forever?] stay at the Whitcomb because of the price and "I am not rich". So, I had to downgrade to the Motel 6, where I scored and rested well, until I met eyes with the EZ-8 Motel; I felt like I hit the Lotto on that broke man's budget yet pulling the curtains to see if my ride is safe and good to go. Yeah, the Sleezy-8; sketchy and low-key things going down [truly] under the radar. Hmmmmmmm....
Lastly, the Crystal Springs Rest Area. This was my absolute last resort when both money dwindled and how stealth I had to be living out of my car on the streets of San Francisco. When I woke up to the brigh[est] light ever flashed to my eyes of a San Francisco Police Officer, interrogating me as to why I was sleeping out of my car in this area, I had to pulled together a fast statement since I knew the local and county laws that strictly prohibit any persons of sleeping out of their automobiles. That night, I called the Crystal Springs Rest Area Home, because it was out of the City far from SF's laws, no sketchy individuals to break / destroy / steal one's vehicle, and where I can see stars and feel and connect with nature.
Well, my last year attending SFSU was my best [financially] because I made enough money from a summer internship I had in Burbank...................................................................................

What a great welcome home sight greeting us after a week of vacation in Colorado as we headed home after disembarking from the last Delta flight of the evening (4538 CR900). Saltie Lubie at CHS, Michipicoten at CN Dock 6, American Century at MERC, Great Republic and Joe Block at Hallett Dock 5. Welcome home! August 28, 2018.
This is the tip of the Homer Spit, a sliver of land sticking out into Kachemak Bay from Homer, Alaska. The spit is built from this gravel, which looks to me like the debris left behind in the terminal morain as a glacier retreated (in this case probably many thousands of years ago, if that is actually what it is).
Bornite Cu5 FeS4 Hardness 3 streak dark green and sparkling.
The streak is variable
Copper and Iron metallic mineral.

Thanks to John and Carol who bought it for us.

Well not really home, this is Allandale Mansion, in Kingsport Tennessee and provides nice opportunities for a quick self portrait when traveling back to Knoxville.
Below is an outtake I liked as well
Hi Everyone! We finally got moved and are trying to get settled in our new home. We are doing well but are extremely busy right now trying to take care of everything and unpack. I am really looking forward to getting out of the house with my camera soon...I'm not sure when that might be. So if I post any pictures, they will probably be from my "files." Thanks to everyone who offered help, support, and encouragement during our difficult move; it is appreciated more than I can say! Hopefully I'll be back to "flickering" soon so I can see what everyone has been up to!

Home is where i find food. Today it is in the mountain scrub brush...I came upon this beautiful cat while out riding the ATV in the mountains near our home. He seemed to be healthy and not lacking for food. Guess he is an excellent hunter.
you are going home ...
this life is the way ...
enjoy the journey every moment ~

Another 50 test. This is my good friend jade, and this was our usual meeting ground of 3 years ago.
Didn't seem quite so warm this time.

thursday. after the ceremony at home exactly a month ago we were convinced that the four panel sliding front doors were a bit limiting as the maximum door access is restricted to half the opening width.
in feng shui front door should always open big big.
so we decided to pain pain replace them with a set of fully openable folding doors.
at long last the installers came today.
