No idea why they call the town Riverside

I've just returned from a weekend east of LA. As I mentioned last week, another uncle has died, and I went for his memorial service.

It was a very interesting weekend and I came back with new insights about family and myself in that structure. Good stuff that I am frankly too tired to go into, yet I feel a bit better about moving down there should it come to that.

The real adjustment will be living in the landscape. Wholly unsustainable, this oil well masquerading as urban and suburban sprawl.
