Home cooked meals, showers, a warm sleeping bag, a bike friendly town, and an OmniMAX theatre down the street; who needs anything more? One thing I heard about Portland was that people move here to enjoy life. I have realized that enjoying life involves making the choice to enjoy it. Often I am extreme in one way or the other. But every now and then just for a season I am balanced on that tetter totter. Pizza and pop, has been a desire and of course IMAX, which I haven't gone yet, but I did sit in on a planatarium showing. My scooter is running great. The electronics are unreliable but if I am back before dark then the trip is a success. The lights were working today, but they stopped working halfway throught the ride.
The largest city park in the United States is here in Portland. It exeeded my expectations. There were no swings or slides, unless you wanted to slide down the side of a hill, which will probably end up being a tumble. The maze of trails can take you deep inside an old green forest with green vines and carpetlike green algae growing on the trees. Green, green, green! (When I wrote green over and over I started to think that I spelled it wrong.) The green that radiated from the forest reminded me of a fake exibit at a zoo my family went to on a vacation.
I'm keeping my eyes open for oversea jobs. I partly considered crabfishing but I have people in my life that care about my wellbeing and that would be far too rough on them (and me). I haven't made much progress in connecting with any filmmakers yet, but I did hear that there are a lot of indi film makers in town.
Kiasa is a daily reminder of my lack of love for dogs.
The house spider (cross spider) is actually more civilized than the dog. We've been feeding her. It's pretty cool actually.
Very cool to see what you're up to Brian. Best of luck!
