Sorry for the week off; I’m back from a road trip in Oregon. No, I wasn’t felled by the heat wave, though hanging in Portland last Sunday was an experience I can only describe as surreal. I just took a week off to hang in Central Oregon and jump into whatever stream or river presented itself. Some parts of this were in non-WiFi/cell service range, and while I could’ve/should’ve posted something in those areas that DID, I have to admit, it was kind of nice to shut all of it out. And hey, the M’s continue to play well, so that was something of a nice surprise to return to.
