we got moved in
now living across town, on the west side, out of Portland, Oregon, and into suburbia. boxes and bags all over the place, but that’s alright. the new neighbors brought us cookies and said, and i’m quoting here, “We wanted to welcome you.” there are kids running wild all over, and you can hear the frogs at night and see the stars.
we could not often see the stars at our old place, due to the neighbor’s big-ass vapor lights, light pollution, and bad air quality. it is a trip to be able to see the stars. also there are woods all around, greenspaces, nature preserves. wow wow wow. people riding bikes, walking their hounds, running… wow.
we like it here.

Sounds great. And you’ll get to see more of Steve, cuz his commute must be reduced, by what, an hour round trip? Very cool; I’m happy for you!

It’s 30-45 minutes a day that I won’t be sitting in my car. I’m going to spend it in the jacuzzi instead.
