How's it going up there in the PNW, Marc? Freaky weather.

Well aside from the high temperatures and the fact that central Oregon is burning up all around me, things are well. I was able to find a decent job over here after commuting over the mountain every week for a year. The place is coming along nice. New paint and decks. Planted a few thousand square feet of lawn. Getting ready to build a couple fences. Just living life.

Want to put a 4' wood fence and some mulch behind the lawn. Should be a nice view from the back yard then.

Looks like paradise to me, man.

BTW, just found an old friend in Grant's Pass that I haven't talked to in a couple of decades. Might be heading up there soon for a visit after I get a new knee.

Grants Pass is southern Oregon. I am still another 4 hours up in the center.

I had never seen the population demographics from the Revolutionary War period...there are some interesting numbers in here.

Remembering Kent State I imagine that quite a lot would do so..

I suppose it depends on the extent of shared identity those in the service have with the insurgents.

That's doable, plus Patty wants to take a look at Bend.

Indeed.

Now Bend is pretty close. I work about 15 miles away from there.
