It's kind of hard to live your dream of being John Wick when the opposition is an inflatable frog.

Soaking up that last bit of sunshine.

A black dog sits on an outdoor couch. His paw is on the humans arm in view. It is sunny with blue skies and a tree in the background.

What it looked like after the loading screen completed.

First run of the season shenanigans. This was a low and slow shake out to see how everyone is doing. I will do a few more of these 3 milers and then decide how I want to run everyone for the season. Some fun passes with friends. ❤️

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

"Yeah I can definitely do the demo of bikejoring in this open field for our educational presentation."

Chocobo- "WHERE IS TRAIL MAKE TRAIL SO CAN GO HELP INSTRUCTIONS UNCLEAR."

We did eventually get going. Nothing like waiting for your dog to figure it out with a crowd of folks watching.

A black and white dog in a blue harness is barking at a person on a bike. The person on the bike is looking down at the dog with what I hope is a patient expression but honestly he is very loud and silly. The dog is attached to the bike to do the sport called bikejoring.

we're not going to have a good, sustainable social media site as long as it is made or run by tech people. that is why I am building my own out of water, small rocks, moss, snails, brightly colored shrimp, one of those sucking fish, a mermaid statue. I'll be honest, this may actually be an aquarium.

Same, Houndy. Same.

A black dog stares up at the camera with brown eyes. The pitch of his eyebrows conveys a slightly concerned expression. In reality, he just wanted me to turn off the rain.

Madilyn Mae! She is a delightful folk-sy artist who has a lot of metaphors and symbolism in her lyrics. Sold out show and MOSTLY folks about half my age in attendance. The future is bright. The kids (including mine) knew all the words and sang them with love for the meaning.

Born and raised and never really felt a want to leave ❤️ We eventually moved out of town a bit so we could have livestock, but still go into town weekly to enjoy the food, music, and shops.

Last Friday attended an all ages concert on Hawthorne full of teenagers. There was a puppet show. The venue handed out free water so nobody got dehydrated. Walked a half mile to our car at 11pm then got coffee and ice cream. Drove home at 1am. Lovely time in Portland, as always.

I've been coming here for over 20 years after late night events in Portland and it hasn't changed. I love this city so much. The people. The places. Home.

The horrors persist and a female dog does not care. Horrors or not, we are on a schedule.

A black and white dog staring intently at the camera- her head is shoved between a leg and the arm of the chair to be as intrusive as possible.
