I was trying to find the name for taking an extreme position on something for the sake of argument. I guess it’s a straw man, but I thought there was another name for it –

“Time came slowly and passed slowly, so leisurely that at times he could swear it had stealthily doubled back on itself.” - Murakami Margs, porch swings, sand castles, my dogs... Clouds blowing over the coast range, nuked out / logged out forests, tsunami zones, hot tubs, easy runs, tough gravel rides and good fiction. I’m a fan of Haruki Murakami’s writing - The Wind up Bird Chronicle is unforgettable. There’s a description of a drive into the mountains to a remote cabin in Kafka on the Shore. I want to go there! I’m reading A Wild Sheep Chase. Makes me want to go visit the mountains of Hokkaido. I spied this valley (cloud shot) from a ridge further south on Saturday morning on an exploratory bike ride but couldn’t get over to it. I ended up bagging the run. The steep gravel climbs and descents at high speed had me pretty beat up. This morning I ran there and picked my way up to the top. Sometimes I think I’m just running somewhere to see the view. You had to almost hold your breath to notice the clouds blowing through the forest toward the ocean.

“And now I realize I’m living like a trucker does, although I haven’t got the belly.” 🎶. California (All the Way), I love long days on open roads. What a magical place. We’ll be back up here soon. 🇨🇦

Spent the last few days backpacking on Hood with the girls. We finished The Lightening Thief in a mega reading session before we hiked out and agreed in order of best to worst: book, musical, movie. I’ve nailed the Ares voice - it’s kind of a Sam Elliot / bad biker homage. The blown downs going up Elk Cove trail were demoralizing - but we dug deep, ate some candy, and powered through. We set up base camp and then played up in the snowfields. The flowers are spectacular right now!

Yesterday’s field trip to Portland State’s Learning Gardens Laboratory. We learned about hugelkultur, biomimicry and garden ecologies. We ate some calendula and sampled veggies and preserves. Made me think about buying a farm in Vermont and making a go as a subsistence farmer. 👨‍🌾 Wow that school year went by fast!
