For the first time, I attempted to segregate my insurance revenue into the different categories of individual and family, vision and dental, Medicare, and small group. Individual and family enrollment commissions made up 85 percent of the revenue. Enrollments in vision and dental plans comprised 4 percent of my income. Medicare Supplements, Medicare Advantage, and Part D prescription drug plan enrollments total 8 percent of my income. Small group commissions came in at 3 percent.


Initially, I wanted to display all the quartz seam samples so you could easily see the jumbled crystal growth between the outer layers of quartz. However, the outside of these small flat quartz rocks is almost as interesting with variety of different colors, striations, and textures as the inside. Some of the quartz has an almost translucent amber color. As far as I can discern, virtually every one of the quartz rocks harbors either crystals or crystalline structure of opaque quartz: silicon dioxide.


From my car at the Oregon Bar parking lot, to the point where I estimated the first tunnel was located, is a little over 2.65 miles. However, those 2 miles, along the river, over the river cobble, cliffs, and sand bars is some of the most challenging and strenuous terrain I have hiked over. There are points where bare rock juts into the river and you must literally climb up and over the slate or granite.

Because, you see, I’m the guy who will take a phone call in a field of lavender to answer your health insurance questions.

David Beach was also a cousin of Amos Catlin and several people wrote to Amos about news of David’s gunshot injury. Of the other men listed in the letter to Amos Catlin, Judge Hastings was most likely Serranus Clinton Hastings. Judge Hastings lived and practice law in Iowa. He found his way to California and was appointed to the California Supreme Court and later won the election to become the state’s Attorney General.
