All Peaceful in Oregon

While the rest of the country seems to be getting ravished by endless snow storms, we here have enjoyed very good weather through most of January and now into February. Most days calm and dry and not too cold, with some sun even shining through. I have enjoyed my breakfasts with Kim without shivering. It is amazing to watch Kim in her colorful clothes, standing out on a grassy knoll, looking up and seemingly drawing the seagulls down out of the sky! They gather around her in a docile manner, and she feeds them the bread I give her out of my excess food stamp allocation. She feeds the little birds too. Our friend Mike was picked up by police the other night on an outstanding warrant. He was supposed to paying monthly installments on a fine for something he did long ago, but hasn't had any money to pay for the last 11 months. He had to spend a cople days in jail, but when he went before the judge, the judge reduced the sentence to time served, and dismissed the remaining fine, and ended his probation! So he is now a free man again. The Haggen store that gave Kim and I shelter for the better part of a year has finally succumbed to the ravishes of the reccesion and is closing! Seven days left before the doors, that once never closed, will now close forever! So sad, but their prices are just too high! Posting today from the Cedar Mills Library. Used one of the bus passes the employment office gave me to look for a job with. Did you have any luck finding a job? |
