Before and After

So at last. What made it slightly more difficult was my formerr haircutter relocating to Oregon City. 12 miles of driving for a haircut? Surly there had to be someone closer. And there was. And, I have to admit, I could have been gong to this place for years. It is walking distance away. Walking Distance. Maybe one of the services you are looking for is also so close to you. Check on it.

Walking a Greenway

Earlier this year Portland announced they would convert 100 miles of residential streets to Portland Greenways. This map shows the existing and future Greenways.

One of them starts one block from our house and runs for a half mile before hitting a major, well busy, street. We took a tour of it. There is no indication of it at our end. It was a single lane to get out for cars, with the other half of the street reserved for bicycle traffic. As we walked we saw three signs that read “Neighborhood Greenway”. There was no car traffic. Though that is not unusual on a Sunday morning. At our busy street, 52nd Avenue, we saw what looked to be actual Greenway activity, signage and a block against traffic.

This was the only markers for the Greenway. It is new. I’m looking forward to more construction (?) of the Greenways to become standard traffic.

On our walk back home we took a parallel street. It was just as quiet.

Local Produce

Is not something shoved through the mechanism that gets to your local grocery store. It’s picked by local people and in our case, sold at an overhand. And they’re not recalled due to someone somewhere infecting it with salmonella or whatever. Yum.

You Have Mail

Are you getting email from the USPS? It looks like this:

USPS Alert

That’s how it starts. What follows is images of the mail that is on its way. Here is an example.

More Mail for Us

It is kinda weird. On the other hand, when you see email from a friend its exciting. What will his letter tell of today?

If you are getting these email tell me about it.

Me in 2020

Yeah, well here I am in July 2020. No haircut in awhile – surprise.
We are doing well, kinda sorta. What do you expect in Covic-19 lockdown?
