Evelyn and I talked a bit some months ago about the possibility of approaching Sunny Acres with the idea of getting them set up to make papercrete bricks. For one, to rebuild the barn that that city coucil woman says is an eyesore and is actively pursuing to erradicate Sunny Acres from existence practically. Yet the city relies on Sunny Acres with the homeless situation around these parts. Ohhhhhhhh, I call her a woman but really I've got a different word in mind that starts with a letter B. She lives up on the hill looking down on Sunny Acres in her nice fancy million dollar house that was built decades after Sunny Acres became Sunny Acres.
It looks like the city council has won Act II on this assault against the land owner. Sunny Acres is required to move all the vehicles off the site that are not currently registered or operative or both. Something like that. So, I'm not sure if they have done so already or not, but someone should tell them to remove one of the rear ends on one of those trucks or busses and save it for the purpose of making a papercrete mixer... that is if they want to explore the papercrete thing. Evelyn did you happen to get ahold of the site manager? I lost her phone number and I'm just always so busy during the day at work that I can't stop by even though I only live a block or two away.
Anyway, we live in "green" California here on the Central Coast, so it might be good to coordinate somewhat, and see about approaching building and planning and get the process rolling to establish papercrete as a building medium. Even if it's "slow growth" around here, it can't hurt to further the cause. If I owned vacant land, around these parts, I'd do it. I've been looking at property in California Valley since it's cheeper, but really the good property there is still expensive and it is just really far from town that it's kept me from putting a whole lot of energy into things. Maybe if I was close to retiring, I'd give it another thought. Anyway.. lest I continue rambling, that's all for now..

It's tonight so a bit late to organize. I seems that there is only 3 of us in SLO but perhaps we can think of a way to come together, it would be nice to meet someone in the flesh that is into papercrete. Ev
