yesterday i walked through a thunderstorm up Mississippi Avenue. 

complete with hail!

i heard more thunder yesterday than i have heard in the entirety of my almost 4 years in Portland.

also i celebrated the birthday of one of my favorite peoples, Alan Page.

i'm getting a new phone in a few days or so.

i'm finally going to get a 503 number.

feels a little weird, i've had the good ole 352 number my entire adult life.

anyway...

life has been interesting lately.

• i notice a lot more than ever before. 
• i just made some delicious fried rice. 
• remembering the crazy that makes me who i am.
• starting a new job soonly.
• i had a really tasty quesidilla recently.
• it even had chicken and it didn't freak me out. yay! thanks nikki.
• oh and my friend Bruce gave me a sweet pair of chucks!

life is alright sometimes. 

i'm very thankful for my smoggie catt friend.

she's my constant. 

the last of the primaries for the democratic party are coming up. 

i'm curious to know how all that works out. 

and what other absurdness donald trump will come up with. no bueno.

also what happens to the rest of our republicans friends.

has anyone else noticed the weather people have no idea what is happening.

i mean even the really smart ones (noaa for example. i find them interesting.) know a lot. 

but they are giving 75% chances at things happening.

get involved. pay attention. localize and harvest.

i'm going to quit rambling and go sit outside and draw.

it rained a lot these past few days. all the trees and flowers smell delicious. 

be free fellow earthlings.
