I went to see Hamilton yesterday. The energy and hopefulness, cunning and courage of the founding fathers (and mothers) is electric. A strange time to be watching it considering current politics, but I left feeling patriotic, and hopeful; reengaged with our history, a little less tired.

Mcmenamins Elks Temple is full of light and whimsy.

I left IG a few weeks ago and haven’t missed it until today when the state capital decided to be awesome.(WWII Monument, Vietnam War Memorial, Fountain showing off)

These short winter days are rough, but the sunsets…😍

I’m starting 2025 trolling NW trolls and Jakob Two Trees, is spectacular. Stay tuned for more troll appreciation posts.
