Yeah, Wife #2 wasn't acting territorial, looking back on it...their marriage was falling apart bad, by the time he and I met and started messin' around. There was a tension to her, and she was trying to warn me as best as she could, but with what he was telling me about her, I interpreted it as her being angry at us for being together and maybe feeling agitated towards me as the "young, cute girl" (she'd gained a lot of weight.) But no, it was probably more frustration that on the one hand, she was likely glad to see him out of her life, and on the other, she felt like a foolish kid was being sorta the victim of an older, bad-news man, and maybe wished she could get through to me.
But I think that the more anyone tried to warn me, the more stubbornly I thought I could beat the odds and "love would prevail" and other idealistic and rebellious nonsense. I mean, I was 18, so...
I'm really glad that at this point, both of my sons seem to be on a better track than I was then.
I was in the downtown area near the river front park. It was cold and rainy but I could tell in the middle of summer being a beautiful area. I was impressed how nice the area was. Only saw one or two homeless. Down here in so cal the homeless problem is way out of control.
I like Portland well enough, but I'm more of a desert rat. Lots of green everywhere, but ya pay that with much more rain than I care for.
We don't have too much rain here in the mountains of southwest Oregon.Maybe, about 30" yearly (hopefully). There are many sunny, warm days each year. We aren't too far from Grants Pass.
Most years we need more rain.
It keeps the forests green.
Rain fills up our waterways.
Rain helps with the forest fire danger. Most years lately we are lacking in rain fall & snow. Some winters here we don't get any snow anymore. We used to get a decent amount of snow fall. My bass pond hasn't been full in several years. Years ago it was always full in the spring.
For a job that doesn’t require travel I spend plenty time away from home. Two weeks ago, I was out of state for a week. One night this week and it looks like three days away from home next week.
I bought a Jeep over a year ago. It has satellite radio. Okay, that’s nice. The deal was decent enough for the year. Today they sent out an email notice for automatic renewal. The price more than doubled. Pump the brakes on that. I’m putting that notion right through the windshield. Unlimited data and Spotify will be the course of the day.

I bought my daughter a Jeep Renegade with satellite radio a little over a year ago, April/May 2018? ...She wouldn’t complain about that, never asks for anything. I’m going to go check it out! Thanks for the tip. 🙂

I usually stream when I am in the pickup. There might be some diesel therapy for me today.
You know, the ridiculousness we have run into (and been run over by) in this forum for years makes me long for a thing to be made...
A mock nature documentary where men "approach" women in produce sections and at bus stops, and it's narrated by that dramatic fake-quiet voice over like the nature shows, guy with the British accent... And like the women are wearing brown and dull colors, and the dude sidles up and then like flips up a brightly colored cape and starts doing a freaky dance while loudly clicking or chirping (like the Birds of Paradise from the original Planet Earth jungle episode) or maybe darting up and dropping twigs at her feet, hoping she will remove her earbuds. She either ignores him, or flees the grocery store in terror.
