Was in the hospital for a week. They pumped me full of antibiotics and cleaned me up both inside and out. Am now staying in a transitional housing room in downtown Portland courtesy of the local hospitals for benefit of the homeless. Getting free medical care at a downtown clinic. Medicare is now picking up the tabs so no more huge hospital bills to hang over my head..



Kim is still on the street, but I am buying her lunch once a week at a downtown food circus. When she gets enough for a MAX train ticket, she is very mobile.



First time I've been to the library for many months. Computers mostly available. The store nearby were I used to buy snacks has closed. Guess the rumors that it was moving were true after all.



I see some of you regulars are still posting here. Hi Bert!



Software has changed. Library may be limiting me to an hour now. Can't use Portland library because I have the wrong county library card so am at Cedar Mills.

Good having your feedback. The usual FUD-masters had you as dead.

Perhaps they'll give you more hours of computer access if there's no others signed up for using them.

Perhaps you can get a Chrome Book and leach off nearby public WiFi. Supposedly there's an app for discovering private WiFi passwords.

Bert as usual needs another computer, and has to use public WiFi access.
