My life is kind of sucking in the financial realm: a couple months behind on my car; need $300 for my auto insurance, but I thought of a way I might be able to lower it, but I’d still need to have a chunk yo pay for a new policy with a different company. One of my best friends (we met in the 80’s at USF) is helping me with part of the car payment.
Anyway, I kind of can’t formulate many whole sentences right now, but I want to post something. Here are some images I like. Most will be mine, and I’ll label them as such. Some will be from the internet.

Zora was my cat, and when my finances collapsed, making my domestic situation very unstable, Pat, Gary’s wife and one of my very best friends , decided it would best if they fostered Zora for awhile.

He wanted me to go with him, but I was having a variety of health issues, some which were caused by a four car accident I was in in August, plus I didn’t have the money. He had his vehicle carried out there on a huge vehicle carrier.He is so damn happy to be back in Portland, and Oregon. NO, PORTLAND DID NOT GET BURNED DOWN IN THE, “riots,” of 2020.
