At least the Gresham jobs let me drive up I-84 each morning (against traffic) and see the beginning of the Columbia River Gorge, plus Mt. Hood if the skies were clear. The hills that mark the gorge’s west end have a parting-of-the-curtains feel, appropriate for landscape as dramatic as the Gorge. It’s one of several reasons I’m glad I live where I live. The Milwaukie job takes me through a corridor that’s nice in its own way, the stretch of 99E between Eastmoreland Golf Course and Crystal Springs Rhododendron Gardens to the east and Westmoreland Park to the west. The road’s closely framed by trees, trees, trees, plus square-headed street lamps unique, I think, to that road. It’s a road that’s almost comfortable, and that (for me) is a rare feeling.

I wrote the subject line that way specifically to be unhelpful. Heh. Anyway, it was a walking day. I'd cocooned at the house Thursday (sore and,…

It's easier to have stuff to write about if I leave the house
I should have gotten out of the house on Sunday and Monday. I didn't. Yesterday was a nice day, too, so I had that incentive. I made sure to go out…
