Vacation update: learned today that the ramshackle hotel-like building in the non-fancy hills above LA where I spent my first ~4 years in a group household of impoverished academics and LSD-addled post-hippies was not simply, as I had been told, “a former dude ranch”, but more specifically the vacation spot that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moye_W._Stephens built for rowdy weekends with his famous friends, and he would occasionally drop by to have an awkward conversation.
