Last year I wrote a lot about this event, I thought “This is cool shit!” Turns out others thought the same, and it became a “thing”. The very most important thing to know is the url, r2ak.com. The premise is a race, by any means, from Port Townsend to Ketchikan, Alaska. No motors, no […] The color of the day this morning was sky blue, though it hazed up after a while. It looks like we’ll have a few days more of dryness. I tackled the job of repairing one of my window shades today, which involves re-threading the strings that control it.

That looks like […] When Colorado and Washington passed legal marijuana they had to write the rules from scratch.
