- really tall bikes. I asked someone how he got on his (multi-colored, earth flag, anti-war stickered) tall bike today and pointed to his step. someone else told me "faith."
i didn't actually see this guy, but plenty of people who look like him.
- weird cars. people like to decorate their cars with tiles and little alien figurines and other bizarro things. so many people, so many crafting opportunities.
- international rose test garden! Portland is also known as "Rose City" strange, there must be one nickname for every 25 people in Portland, but this one makes sense since roses grow everywhere and are nurtured. see how happy i am about roses?
- Next to the Rose Garden is this serene Japanese Garden, complete with Yoko Ono inspired wish tree.
- these people like Japanese gardening too, but they have a lot to learn.
- Finally, this is what nerds do on their day off...

Alex, You grew up with roses on your balcony. You visited roses in your grandparents garden in London, and you were dragged to numerous rose gardens in both the US and UK. I wonder why you like roses?
Those tall bikes rock. I was in downtown sioux falls late at night years ago and there was a whole freakin' gang of them. It was pretty sweet, but I still don't quite understand how they get on.
Hope you're doing well. Miss you lots!
Saw halloween "PEEPS" and totally thought about being with you in Jones food center. Miss you bunches. Don't miss out on the haloween peep madness!
