    Walking to work in the rain is way better than sitting in a parked car on I5.

    Lot's of perambulating today, in the Gorge and at the pumpkin patch.  Great day to get out and explore Oregon!

    Beautiful morning to walk into work, kicking through the leaves all the way in.  Hit the Burnside Bridge just in time to turn around and catch the sunrise.

    I hope helping make my son's birthday lasagna dinner counts as part of my community.

    I asked my daughter if she wanted any help in her quest to find a "new" used car.  She said yes, and we spent the whole wind filled day dodging the "great storm" and finally realized success.  Being a used car salesman has got to be a tough job.

    I actually unplugged my earphones on my walk to work this morning to see if the Woman at the intersection needed some help.  She told me she was fine, just on her way to get some breakfast.  At which point she told me "I love breakfast, it makes me happy.  So does meeting happy, nice people".

    I didn't feel like either of those types of people at that moment, but she changed my perspective instantly!

    I'm going to try to be a happy, nice person for the rest of the day and see how it goes from there.
