Reason for leaving position?
“Independently wealthy” or “Retired” is always a good answer.
Rents are rising faster in the Midwest than any other region. https://www.rent.com/research/average-rent-price-report/
Finished watching Foundation Season 2 tonight. I guess I’m going to have to read the books because I hate waiting.

We have a lot of great shops here in the Portland region. This one specializes in old school acoustics despite all the electrics in my first photo.
I wanted to play a Gibson LG-2 (this one is from the 40s) because I found a cheap guitar a couple months ago modeled after this one dimensionally and I wanted to compare.

In recent years it seems like anyone who makes over $75k per year just rounds up to $100k in general conversations on the internet.
Considering shaving my face today for the first time in perhaps 10+ years.
I cannot believe Beaverton School District are tearing down a mid-century modern beauty for this eyesore. https://djcoregon.com/news/2023/09/14/on-the-boards-beaverton-high-school-replacement/
September photo challenge: statue.

Next week marks the 20th anniversary of my father’s death. This is a weird one for me in so many ways, but what’s been coming up for me lately is that I’m about the same age he was when he killed himself in a drunk driving accident. This life has required far too much forgiveness.

🏖️ Back to the beach, and back to slower days. Also a lot less photos, as we’re stuck in the sand all day long.
As usual, a few more at https://maique.eu/2023/09/10/back-to-the.html

I concluded a 7-month application and security clearance process today with a 2.5 hour interview with law enforcement, all for a new job. Only 3 more weeks until I find out if I passed and finally step into my new role within the same organization! 😂

I’m loving that.
Indeed, the band is from a couple hours north of here but Carrie might live here in Portland given the show, I’m not sure.
Today I played some higher end small body guitars trying to see what might sound similar to my Art & Lutherie $200 guitar, but honestly I was not impressed.
I came across a brand recently called Iris out of Vermont that I’d really like to get my hands on, but I haven’t found any locally.

Not to detract from your post, but holy moly. An alternative front end for YouTube!
