This sign was on the restroom at the campground we went to last weekend. I don’t know… I just thought it was an interesting combination.

Beach camping trip

We (Deanne, her mother Lucille, Austin and I) went camping at Pacific City over the weekend. We had frost on Friday night, and clear blue skies most of the time. Good times! Here are some photos of the weekend…

3 Packages

I don’t often get personal packages here at work, but just a little while ago I got THREE very different ones in the span of about 15 minutes!

The first one (by UPS) took me totally by surprise! It is a gift from a client of mine, Rugged Country Plants — ten plugs of Castilleja miniata (Scarlet Indian Paintbrush!). They wanted me to see the plant shipping boxes they had made (with the logo I made for them), and just wanted to say “Thanks!” Awesome!

Then, a few minutes later I got the second one (by USPS Priority Mail). It was the new rear derailleur hanger for my mid-90s GT Pantera, that broke on my last ride. Thankfully there’s a company still making these things! On-line shopping is SO COOL!
