On a completely full bus last night we went to a cafe that doesn't open until after sunset and had their most decadent desserts and coffees. This morning before dawn, I walked to the bakery down the street and got a cinnamon roll fresh from the oven. I ate it with coffee and the sunrise.

Beautiful view of the Fall colors out of the back door

Double rainbow, all the way.

Cory Doctorow talking about his book Enshittification last night at Powell's. It's an unfair comparison, given my obsession with the topics he covered, but it was easily the best author talk I'd been to.

The clouds are breaking and it's SHOCKINGLY BEAUTIFUL outside.

New computer. New network setup. It seems to be at least a few-days worth of stable.

Balcony prism.

I swear there's a mountain behind the clouds. The feed occasionally has died due to me using up all the resources on that PC. I've got a deadheaded mini-pc I'm going to put in the corner and run it from there instead. We'll see how it goes.

The older I get, the more I appreciate this band. They're called Three Panicked Roadies With Duct Tape and they play Everywhere.

I'm still making changes, but here's the livestream from my Downtown Portland Oregon balcony of Mt. Hood #pdx

Rose City Coffee Company

They're going to be renovating that theater here in the next couple years. And they're building a sort of sister theater to it right next door to us as a sort of downtown arts rejuvenation. So we wanted to see something in it prior to its renovation.

There's five theaters around town that we've been looking for things that we were interested in seeing inside because they're kind of nexuses of the local art scene. It was amazing that we were able to just simply walk to see Elvis Costello relatively next door.

He closed with What's So Funny 'bout Peace Love And Understanding, which was particularly poignant. Another bonus was that he had playing with him as a special guest Charlie Sexton, who Meghan knew from the Austin music scene and saw him purchasing a fan at Target.

Badass for a really old guy. The theme of this tour is him playing his obscure older stuff and so for the first half of the show it was all songs of his that I didn't recognize at all. The second half though he played all the hits, thankfully.

I put the prism back up after the railing repairs.

The entirety of my 11 minute walk from my home to the Keller Theatre to see Elvis Costello tonight.

All my days this week are full with either gym or protest. I got to take Sara and Kai to Books with Pictures while they were here, though. That was a delight. They got to ride the big green bus there.

Yes. You can either rent a single llama per couple or a llama per person. They're training them to work as pack animals so everybody wins. There's also fuzzy cows at the next-door farm that seem interested in the llamas.

Farmer's Market haul.
