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,...
July 6th 9 pm sitting in Vincent with rain on the roof. It is quiet here. So quiet. I can’t hear road sounds at all. There is no one but me and some evening birds murmuring their sleepy songs. I am parked in an unsupervised, uninhabited campground just outside...
