My house has wheels

Oregon Pot

Oregon grows too much pot, and that means low prices. How low? You regularly see $3 grams advertised, and $50 ounces, sometimes less. A joint can be had for $2.50. But that's for folk on a budget. To get a better quality, $6 grams and $25 eighths are more like it. Contrast to CA with around $14 grams and $40 eighths (don't be surprised to see $60 eighths). Washington is in the middle somewhere, Nevada is more like CA. Oregon chose a free market...

Tillamook

I've been here a few days waiting for the next break in the rain, and tomorrow looks like I can move up to Seaside. And, there might be some dry days on the way. It's been six weeks since I hit the Pacific coast, and I saw about 5 dry days total. That means a lot of hours stuck indoors reading books and playing video games. Yesterday, I hit the end of Zelda:Breath of the Wild. I started it around October first, and now am looking at the grand...

Newport, OR

There was a weather break today, so up the road I went to Newport, one of my favorite Oregon Coast places. I stay at the Marina and RV park which is super nice, with a view of the bridge, and when the weather cooperates, some great beaches within a short distance.

Atmospheric River

That's a relatively new term to describe the weather I've been living with for weeks now. It means a lot of rain, and high winds on the NW coast. Today it rained over 2 inches. Yesterday winds were around 55 mph. That's what I've seen almost every day lately. In Bandon for a bit until a break occurs.

California blew it on pot

When CA wrote it's enabling legislation and regulatory rules after passing Prop 64 enabling a legal regulated cannabis market, it looked pretty good. Sure, it was heavy in red-tape and annoying fees, but this is California. And, coming in late to the game, they had the benefit of experiences from other states which had to be retrofitted in those states. I was optimistic that they'd come up with a bunch of great ideas. But just days before the...

Bandon, Oregon

There's been a lot of rain lately, and I don't see a sun break in the forecast for quite some time. In the meantime, I'll be doing a lot of sitting until favorable travel conditions appear. I'll be several days in Bandon exploring the area.
