Yesterday, I pushed the … Continue reading Countdown to Travel

Just crazy. I really don’t even know what’s covered or what’s not on my new plan (or even if I have a … Continue reading I could use a Cappuccino
Here we are, right in the middle of the great State of Oregon. I’m sure that when many people think of Oregon, they think of Mt. Hood and Portland and Crater Lake. This part of Oregon gets left out. And, well, there’s not too much here other than the dry and dusty sprinkled with sage … Continue reading Burns, Oregon
