Tofino

Late yesterday afternoon I pulled into Mary’s place near Tofino. She says the town is another 6 or so Km North of here but I haven’t been there yet. This morning I am sitting at a table with my computer on, looking out my window over the sand beach and...

Campbell River Farewell

Written June 8th Here I am in a big town with countless wireless networks around me, unable to get a connection. Frustrating. Tomorrow before I leave I will post this using a PC that is wired up. For tonight I will just write. I pulled into Campbell River yesterday,...
