La Ancla ••• Ventura, California

somewhere between madmax and ecotopia is la ancla, an urban sustainability project in ventura, california's la avenida neighborhood. we have a 1/5 acre of land five minutes from the ocean, 3 cottages and an intense passion for laughter, nature, and living in harmony with each other and the earth. we believe it is possible to live well in a beautiful place with a small ecological footprint while not isolating ourselves from economic and cultural resources of the city.

...hijo'e gran puta... la lluvia sigue...

hijo'e graaaaaan puta. 5 dias de lluvia sin respite. but we been makin' the best of it. K and S have been here WWOOFing from Iowa for the past few days. Smart... no, brilliant kids with great hearts and huge minds. They and Monica from Florida spent an entire afternoon digging up urban refuse (trash can lids, little kids' birthday banners) from the depths of our soil, adding compost and designing what undoubtedly will be fabulous new beds.

the surf has been f'n terrible with double overhead sets, huge onshore winds and a gnarly shitplume stretching from C St to Hobos and as far as the eye can see towards Oxnard... but we've been making the best of it with hot whiskeys, cold tecates and a whole bunch of laughing around the fireplace.... and a bunch of plotting for new tropical and sub-tropical species that destroy concrete...
