Monday's a dog.[via]

Monday was such a dog that I didn't even have internet access until today. But, I'm back. I just spent the last three days moving from the Hood River area to an undisclosed location in the Willamette Valley. It was time for me to downsize to a simpler lifestyle that didn't involve driving in snow and using firewood for heat. Ahhh, it's nice to walk everywhere i need to go and not rely on the expenses and pollution of internal combustion. My car is older and I am one cylinder away from being Amish. It's nice to be back in a university town with its ethnic diversity and stimulation. It's nice to be closer to the ocean and take day trips to the beach. I needed a change and so I packed up and did it.
