I am an official citizen now. Lois DeFord and Doughty Sterling sent me this a couple months ago. Thanks, you two!
Doughty’s stories and photos of Big Sur can be found here:

If you want your own cup, leave a message in the comment section, and I will forward your email to Lois so she can contact you with the pricing schedule.
Meanwhile, back on the ranch, the weather is gorgeous, beautiful fall day and even most of the coast is clear. You do know that fall is our best kept secret re: visiting us, don’t you? Crowds are gone, weather is better, and Big Sur’s enchantment is working!

Thanks Kate! Yes, I read your postings religiously as they are the best information available in Big Sur. Thank you for your diligence!
Hey, did I miss something huge? Is Big Sur a Nation in its own right now? Way Cool! LOL. Laughing but it is a very cool notion.
Am jade green with envy!
Absolutely fabulous, Kate. I love thinking of us that way, and the cup looks splendid.
Wonderful to read all this enthusiastic joy from you. I agree, feel as if I'm gobbling up the ether from our stunning environs.

Coolest cup I have ever seen Kate and you deserve it since you hold our Big Sur Nation together with the cohesiveness of your ongoing reporting and information.
Blessings and Happy Fall.
