Jimtown Grocery, Alexander Valley



Somewhere between Sonoma and Napa Valleys


on a lonely stretch of curving road....open to much of nothing but the sky, to vines marching away as far as the eye can see,  and a deep separation of mountains........


I had a dream of life.  A somewhat lonely but not sinister "Postman Always Rings Twice" kind of life.


Of relentless sun and solitude, and occasional - and only occasionally - friendly - strangers stopping in to relieve the stillness of the hour.


I, or someone, would have made something delicious in the back - and there would be somewhere cool


for those weary workers or traveler-type strangers to rest their feet.


It would be a place of the unsuspected, of curiosities.....with little expectation that anyone would want to carry something of any of it away with them. 


I would be well satisfied to keep said curiosities for myself.


Especially these.  I would let my visitors take tasty little snacks, and cheap clever gadgets away with them.  Instead.


I would not be very happy, when, by the 21st century, I had acquired (my first, ever)  neighbors.  Even if they did have very groovy chairs.
