Rambles / Cimate Change

No one wants to talk about it and those who do often get ridiculed.

I'm no scientist but I am an earthling. 

Winter was a 3 week fling in my part of the world. Summer came in full force. She was quick and  hot.

Summer is still here, but I smell Fall. The acorns are falling. The leaves are yellowing. 

August is coming. Autumn is coming in August.

What's that mean for October?

That's my favorite month.

There are no longer 4 seasons per year. There are 6 at least. 

They say Winter will be crazy for the Pacific Northwest this year.

She thinks it's spring.

Take what you can get, yes. 

I'm just noting the climates have already shifted.

It's time to start as a society/planet acknowledging it on a massive scale or we can wait for a great "natural disaster" to wake us up. Either way...

Mother earth will be fine, but we have to start living accordingly. Soon. 

It's a head full to think about, but it needs to be talked about. 

Anyway.. I'm rambling and barely finished my morning coffee. 

Enjoy some pretty pictures.

It rained yesterday. It was good rain. Sometimes you just need the water to wash away the gunk.

Common Day Occurrences

in

Today I woke up and followed through with my habitual checking of Craigslist for new job postings, followed by a quick look on Poached Jobs.

Both of which only turned up a handful of selections, but nothing concrete just yet.

I then wandered 6 miles in hopes of finding places to leave resumes. While the job search was not as successful as I had hoped, I did enjoy the walk. I even took a few moments to take some photos.

Nothing too fancy, just common day occurrence stuff.

Enjoy!

Today I went wandering around one of my favorite places in Portland: Mt Tabor.

Incase you didn't Mt Tabor is an extinct volcano! Just whoa! 

I walked where once upon a time there there was probably nothing more than lava.

Now there are trees so tall you can't help but think you've walked into a cathedral. 

It's days like this made me lust for the Pacific Northwest.

This is Cascadia. 

The misty rain against my face. 

The smell of the Great Sequoia trees blowing through the air.

The sound of mud being stomped below.

Baby mushrooms covering the forest floor.

The purple and gold leaves of dying plants look like something straight from Alice's wonderland. 

The tree limbs look like fingers of skeletons. 

The skies were grey but full of light. The clouds moved quickly.

Never once did I feel soaked. 

Today was a great adventure.

Thank you Mt Tabor for making me feel at home.

Yesterday

in ,
  • Yesterday when I was going for a morning walk and found a "one way" street sign. It is obviously hanging on my wall now. Those are  a lot bigger than you might expect.
  • I trudged through many many leaves. It looks as though there may be only a few more weeks of leaf falling. Make sure you enjoy that, Portland. 
  • I also found many little gadgets and had many conversations with Cougan that will most definitely play into greater writing material. I just have to sort it all out in my head. 
  • The most adventurous part was going to Hood River with Cougan. Hood River is a small town nestled into the Columbia River Gorge;  looks like the kind of place I will train to in the dead of winter for a weekend and just let adventure happen. Not a lot there, but there's enough. It's in the gorge!!!

Wallet and Other Miscellaneous Brain Thoughts

in

I found my wallet; it never left the pocket of my work pants.

Which yes, that means I walked aimlessly through the Northwest Portland for an hour last night. Never mind that. It was a pleasant walk even if it was half a blur.  

Other Miscellaneous Brain Thoughts! 
  • Anyway... I need to finish these edits for this book.
  • Also eggs and hash browns must also be made. 
  • And then Jordyn's party is tonight.
  • Also, I miss playing music on a stage with people. A lot more lately.
  • Listen to the song I posted above. Yay Tame Impala! 
  • Also, it's beautifully Fall all around Portland and I love it.
  • Loving the smell of lavender more than ever. I think it smells better in the Fall. 
  • Harnessing my brain powers is the greatest endeavor I've ever taken.  It keeps me very amused.
  • If you are reading this on tumblr go to my website fools!
  • Time to be productive!
  • Bye!
