Cab was an awesome guy. One of those people you meet and instantly feel good about. We had a lovely time in his comfortable North Shore home being educated about his permaculture "operation" and talking about the world at large. In the morning, we started with a taste of yoga, followed by a breakfast spread of French press coffee, fresh fruit from his garden, and wild chicken eggs from his yard. Our only regret is not spending more time here.

One note of caution: The chickens that roam the yard can be very loud and annoying, particularly at night when you're trying to sleep. They begin clucking at about 3 a.m. and don't stop until well past sunrise. Take Cab's offer of earplugs. You'll sleep much better.
