Gas crisis? Noooo. Let’s all keep driving our SUVs to buy milk from the megastore two blocks away. What? I really need that milk- and I need it quick!

My friend Isabella rows crew at Vanderbilt in Nashville, Tennessee; she won’t be having practice tomorrow.

According to so-and-so excuses and blah blah bullshit, the city of Nashville is damn near out of gas, and people are f-reaking out (check Youtube for ridiculous footage of cars waiting in endless lines for the good stuff). Atlanta and Tallahassee are feeling it, too. Geez, who saw that coming?! It’s like the aftermath of a snow storm or a hurricane, minus the natural disaster!

But, I’m not so worried about all of this craziness. After all, I did walk 600 km across Spain once… Guess I’ll be riding my bike home for Thanksgiving (also known as Leyla; she’s lovely.)

Oh Portland, how I miss you in all of your “radical” glory.

after another trip to the farmer’s market… a garden update -

current plant count : 3 (maid of Orleans jasmine, pink lavender, & Irish ivy)

+ alpine strawberry plants, soon to be transplanted into zu garden : 7

number of strawberries on the vines : 1 nearly ripe one, and 3 tiny tiny ones !

That’s all for now, kids
