Reporting from a bustling, fall hued, and invisibly ‘war torn’ downtown Portland.
I smell gyros, and hear someone playing the violin.
Just brutal.

Take care out there.

Welp, that’s a dub on the Zombie Sonics.
As much as they tried to stop it, it happened anyway.

Autumn came in like a slow motion fireworks show. Soon the piles of leaves will amass on the ground, and be swept away by a new winter wind.
I miss Summer, always, but, this is nice for now.

Come through, we’ll leave the light on!

Have a weekend, people.

I can’t help but think of Nicholas Hoult’s haircut from ‘About a Boy’ every time I see him. He needs to grow it out, really let it hang.

Fall Brewie!

Still trying to acclimate little Montgomery Brewster to be indoors, but, frolicking in leaves is hard to pass up.

Little escapes are what keep me going most times. The waysides, tree lines and wave breaks.
Take it easy when you’re able.
Have a day.
