Here's my $33 million benefit ...

We're both techno-weenies.  Software geeks.  You get the idea.  What
we each do to earn pretty good money is quite far removed from Real
Life.

We live in SoCal, which is a wildfire/earthquake risk area.  In
addition to being our camping enabler, our 'Esme' is our emergency
escape/survival vehicle.  So we feel secure in her, since we have
planned to make that so.

Often by the time a Sunday evening rolls around, I've simply had
enough of the "cultivated life".  I find it refreshing to go sit for
an hour or so in 'Esme' (parked, though she may be).  She offers us a
pleasntly simpler place which isn't laden with "cultivated"
distractions.  

She's our meditation place, simply by the way we've set her up!  :-D
