Coming from the midwest, sights like this were initially a little startling. Now, though, I’m spoiled with all of the natural beauty surrounding me; we always learn how to take everything for granted.
On my way to work and back, while crossing the mighty Columbia River separating lovely Portland, Oregon from sprawling Vancouver, Washington, on a clear day I get a chance sight at this towering beast of a volcano, slumbering something like 60 miles to the east of the city.

Adam works for a small software company in Portland, OR's Cathedral Park neighborhood as a software developer. In recent news, bike commuting from his apartment in the Mississippi District to his office has been making him slightly damper than expected, but having the early-morning view of the St. Johns bridge poking out of the dense fog rolling across the west hills every morning while enjoying his cup of coffee more than makes up for such a minor inconvenience.
Not enough information? I didn't think so either. Well, he cares about things like leftist politics and economics, living a car-free lifestyle, never taking anything for granted, and although he is an unabashed technophile, he dreams of living an unplugged lifestyle in the middle of the wilderness by the time he reaches forty or so years old.
This Adam guy has an really terrible memory for things like names, places, and events. Although it might be rather a miracle that he doesn't drown on his own spit from day-to-day, he has somehow managed to scrape together his software development skills from year to year to maintain this site-- a sort of documentary of his own life. This is more for his sake than yours.
We are all creatures of our own past. How do you remind yourself of your own context?
