I never seen so many grandparents smiling ear to ear. Folks were out in the yards cheering the cyclists on. Good times.

world naked bike ride 2019 Portland.
Wow Ya normally don't see so many folks coming out to the park. Tonight the families were out in droves to old Laurelhurst park. Maybe it's the thousands of naked people everywhere. It looks like a real cultural phenomenon.

Today a kiddo was so excited she cracked the car's front windsheild with her little head.
Today a kiddo was so excited she cracked the car's front windsheild with her little head.
It was outside our Pie Spot Pie Shop gig. She was no worse for wear. She thought it was funny.
Mom says it's a loaner car since her husband got rear-ended in the family hoopty just yesterday.
Our first show (At 2 sisters cafe) was packed but the second one at Pie Spot only drew two.
Normally we would pass out a couple balloons and thankyous then split but these two were superfans. They could write our setlists for us if they wanted to.
There is no way we will let them down.
We did a show for them on the tables outside Pie Spot and performed like it was for hundreds. Passersby looked confused. Lots of people driving by waved. I had an enchanted time
. Everyday feels like a movie but today looked like it as well with the sporadic rain showers filling the air with smells and colors. Olive was radiant and incredible to watch as usual.
Flamingo balloon. wonder where the kid got that idea?
We love the Pie Spot. We love the story about them building a bakery up from a food cart. The pie shells were created to not need much packaging. It's great. They also pay us well even though we don't often pack em in. They pay us double what most do. They treat us like royalty. The great thing is that they will treat you just as well when you walk in the door, My fave is the Chicken Pot pie. There's no pot in it but I love that dish anyway. #PieSpot https://www.pie-spot.com/

I was cursed with growing up having the big family bible living right next to 36 encyclopedias.
I was cursed with growing up having the big family bible living right next to 36 encyclopedias.
The encyclopedias regularly contradicted the good book I'm sorry to say.
China never mentioned a global flood in centuries of existence. kangaroos? dinos?
Also it was pretty clear that the plagues described by the Moses story were actually volcanic activity.
My favorite was the people turning into pillars of salt in a place where everything routinely gets covered in salt.
When I was a kid some priests pulled me aside and we all discussed ancient Mediterranean public affairs.
They were saying
"The spirit is strong in the youth, he should join the clergy."
I will never forget that day. I wish I possessed the words back then to properly explain myself.
To make them happy I studied harder but what I should have said was
"I just appear to be enlightened, actually you just suck at Iron/Bronze age. It's terrifying that I have to inform you about the existence of the Silk road."
Maybe they should have read more than just the one book.
It was stressful when all the adults believed in a petty, vengeful, invisible space monster. Even more scary to learn that presidents and school principals actually believe in hell. How can you steward an organization when you think all the folks who don't subscribe to your religion are lost and or going to Hell? Disqualified! lol
That was in Texas. It happened again for the same reasons 7 years later in Tennessee. I was gonna be a clergy.
I guess I studied too much.
My takeaway was "Why aren't we following the Romans. They had representative govt. A military run by command and control with tactics, engineering and specialists, a path to citizenship, didn't demonize sex.
Why are we stuck in this Hebrew/Bedouin comic book?
The Romans actually existed and very well could have know what happens to the sun when it sets (unlike their superstitious counterparts).

Last night I was sitting on the porch enjoying solitude and the night sounds.
I can't be seen from the sidewalk but I guess I can be smelled. I heard the telltale sound of middle aged ladies walking by while speaking in thick "dinner wine accents".
"Oh do you smell that ganja?"
"Mmhm, smells divine."
"It's definitely something I need in my life....just not with those creepy clowns."
They all laughed and so did I.
HAHAHA!
Then they got all quiet for some reason, #neighbors
