3 years ago today* I arrived for the first time ever in Portland, Oregon. I still remember that day sooo well. Fuck I was scared. Chris and I got off the train, got a cab to take us to our apartment. What a shit-hole that was. Though I didn't realize it until right before we moved out. Then we...
Video link stolen from mom. This is why we love DeFazio. For those who don't the area he represents, that "Eugene, Coos Bay, Roseburg" under his name? I lived in Coos Bay for years... Coos County is about as hick as you can get on the west coast. There's an area called Green Acres that is about as...

Etsy's FINALLY given us "vacation mode" - which means whenever you go out of town you can de-activate your shop without having to do it manually, item by item... I am hoping that a "sale" mode is not far behind as it functions much like vacation mode - shut the store down for vacation or... mark the...
We've been in Bend this week visiting with N's parents. While it's been more work focused than past visits, we did make it to Waldo Lake on our drive up. Our timing was good, as the next day a fire broke out not far from this part of Willamette Pass, closing the road and leaving the area very smoky....
Well, my trip is over. I'm sad, because it was great, but I'm happy, because I loved every minute of it. I even had a tiny bit of love in my heart for the twelve-hour day spent biking on Day 5... hard and long as it was, it was beautiful. Here's my mini photo journal: Our hats were SO great, but...
Last week Aaron and I spent a few days at the coast for SOBB- the annual Sunset Beach Oregon Buggy Bash. I got three great days of buggying in and caught up with some old friends and made some new ones. Aaron was a top notch camera man and did all of the shots in the video other than the axelcam...
I am in utter disbelief that McCain is (supposedly) ahead in the polls. I cannot believe anyone would want 4 more years of this. Are men going to vote with their willies? I will be shocked, disappointed and heading for Canada. Barack Obama has what it takes to turn this country around, to mend the...
Phoenix, AZ - 9/10/08 Part 2 - the ocean Besides visiting Hayward Field, I also took a day trip up to the ocean where I checked out starfish and sea lion caves. Overlooking the strawberry hill area. ~Mike
Phoenix, AZ - 9/10/08 It's almost silly how much I have to catch up with on my trip. I'm nearly a month behind, but I wanted to take some care in writing about some of my more extreme experiences. I'm in Phoenix visiting some family right now. I've already written about Eugene and how much I...
I like Portland. I really do. The downtown area and the nearby districts are all so walking-friendly. The convenient mass transit system is a big plus for us. The downtown area is a very nice-looking place too. Trees and parks can always calm me down. The only drawback is that I never understand why...
Oh my God, it's been a month since I posted anything here. I don't know where all the time went. We just visited Seattle and had three awesome vegan meals and now we are in Portland. I can't wait to go to Blossoming Lotus and check out the Saturday market tomorrow. God bless everyone! P.S., for all...

What's your definition of home? Submitted by NayNay72 I've developed an amazing ability to make myself at home where ever I am. (Ask anyone I may have stayed with over the past year or two.) I blame it on the semipermanent state of couch surfing I was in for about a year to a year and a half. Having...
Any last minute summer plans for the weekend? Watch a little football and pretend to care. All I know is that I get to say "Huck the Fuskies," which I thoroughly enjoy.
Soup took a break from being too metal for one hand to write this: Portland, Oregon's System and Station, formerly Boise, Idaho's System and Station and Madison, Wisconsin's System and Station, are releasing their new album, A Nation of Actors tomorrow. And it's really, really good. What we have...
Before I head over to the tire shop I figure I'll do my write-up for the Eugene-Whiteaker Hostel while it's still fresh in mind. To sum things up, the Eugene-Whiteaker Hostel offers a sublime experience. I know that sounds a bit much - it's a hostel, not the fountain of youth, right? - but I mean...
It seems like just yesterday I had my car in for an oil change up near Salt Lake City and the treads on my tires were A-O.K. About 50 miles from Eugene and 50 miles from Coos Bay, I noticed my car starting to pull to the right. Well, I never heard or felt anything, but I figured it would be a good...
