Walter’s Game Cart
I bought an inexpensive game cart from Sportsman's Guide and modified it so my dog can haul it. https://vimeo.com/user371939/download/463445444/a50d0446dd https://vimeo.com/user371939/download/463445444/a50d0446dd...
First Fall Foray
Summer 2020 in Oregon featured plague, drought, and catastrophic forest fires, but it had been raining hard the first few days of fall. Mike and I went up in the woods Friday to see if we could find any mushrooms. Walter Dawg and I arrived before Mike. Once parked, I...
Birthday Furlough Camp
My corporate overlords asked for volunteers for a one-week furlough as part of their pandemic austerity measures. I was not sure I was in a better place financially to take the hit than they were, but I was certain I could put the time off to good use, so I...
Out in the Midday Sun
The Gifford Pinchot National Forest is a magical place. Elk, deer, bears, and cougars wander through the tall trees and berry fields. Caves and outcroppings of weirdly contorted lava dot the landscape. During...

Good Morning
10/23/25 6:30 45F (7.2C) Clear, cool, dry, and calm. A bird is chittering. Walter Dawg is napping on the deck with one eye open. Amy is up, probably sitting in her easy chair playing solitaire on the laptop. My tea is exactly the right...
Good Morning
10/22/25 6:00 39F (3.8C) I awoke to a still morning, the sky full of glittering stars. It is so dark I had to feel my way across the deck to the tub. Overhead in the cold blackness, the twins watch Orion stalk his prey into the oaks. The dogs cavort...
