August 19, 2018 Amateurish Tolkien Sleuthing MBW, the HA, and I drove out to the Columbia River Gorge yesterday and embarked on a paddlewheel sightseeing excursion upriver. The sky offered better visibility than it had most of the previous month: about this time every year everything west of the Rockies bursts into flame.

Musings in Motion. Resurrected Post.
August 12, 2018 Musings in Motion The HA spent a few days in California with her grandparents.
