Leaving this One Horse Town...

So, after considering the potential commuting options for getting up to Seattle every Wednesday for 9 months, we have decided that it is "cheaper" and easier to move to Seattle throughout the duration of the class. "Cheaper", meaning that instead of wasting money on gas, we will be wasting it on rent. I believe the cost-of-living is more in Seattle. I love the term "cost-of-living"...

Moving again is the last thing we want to do, but it will be fun to check out Seattle for a bit and see what it is all about. Then we can head back down here afterward, unless we fall in love with the home of Grunge music.

Tess, Sagan, and I headed back up to Mt. Tabor Park since it was beautiful, clear day and here is what we saw....That is Mt. Hood, the "potentially active" volcano with 12 glaciers on it, which you can see from the city on a good day, from a good location. It has a 3-7% chance of erupting over the next 30 years, but given how the world is working lately, I am already considering a contingency plan. Mt. Tabor park (the hill from which these pictures were taken) is itself a dormant volcano.

And here is the view of the city that I mentioned in the last post.
