Meet Mr. Vic. He saw me parked on Crestline and pulled over. He asked if there were any cabins for sale. I asked if he wanted to own a cabin up here. He said, “No, a whole bunch of cabins!”

He took a quick pic of the sign on my car. I asked what brought him to Palomar. About that time the big truck with the crane pulled up. Mr. Vic said he had good news for all Sprint and T-Mobile customers as they just finished installing antenna for good phone service. It should be up and running in about a month or so.
Tonight a guy pulled into our driveway. He looked pretty frustrated. He delivers for Door Dash. He had just dropped of a box for Cliff and Susie but alas, he wasn’t able to confirm the delivery. He had no connection with his T-Mobile service so his GPS didn’t work. He pulled in the right driveway as we are a free hot spot. In a couple seconds, he was able to call the company. He has recently moved to CA from Haiti with limited English. It was pretty interesting as he spoke French. (Where are Renaud and Sandrine when you need them?) He had Door Dash transfer him to an English speaking agent so I could explain his situation. But he still had three packages in his car. I invited him to follow me to April’s house and then to the General Store where I pointed him to the Observatory. Hope your gate was open so you got your two boxes. If not, they are on the inside of the gate and he was going to call you as soon as he had service on his way back to San Diego.

He did figure it out real quick that he will wait a few weeks before he brings deliveries up the mountain again… or, he knows he can always stop by our place.

`”Our death may be the end of our success, our productivity, our fame, or our importance among people, but it is not the end of our fruitfulness. The opposite is true; the fruitfulness of our lives shows itself in its fullness only after we have died….the beauty of life is that it bears fruit long after life itself has come to an end.” –Henri Nouwen, Our Greatest Gift
