		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve always been big on appropriate technology. And I feel that we are losing a lot to our digital life. Think of all those digital pictures that are not priinted out, sometimes lost during a computer crash. I once talked to someone that lost pictures of her grandmother&#8217;s 102nd birthday that way. So I love [...]]]></description>

		<title>Messabout two</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been hot, but lovely on the river. I went down to the Aqua Home on Friday and sat for awhile. Decided that I should take a picture of it, just to remind myself how how nice it was. We had our second messabout yesterday. There was a great turnout for the food, but not [...]]]></description>

		<title>Geek stuff</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, as always, it&#8217;s been really busy around here. I&#8217;ve been using Ubuntu mostly on my laptop (it&#8217;s dual boot). I like the fact that I don&#8217;t have to worry about viruses. And I like messing around with Linux. I&#8217;ve been using Ubuntu through several versions. It seems that about every other version has issues. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Messabout</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So we had our Messabout, our wooden boat festival. It was a bit of a bust, due to the cloudy weather. The river was way up, so the guys couldn&#8217;t camp on the beach. We did have a nice potluck, but I didn&#8217;t get any pictures this time. We are talking about doing it again [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[at the river. We have been driving around Portland a lot lately, getting some inspiration for the place that we want to live in at the river. We will be remodeling the double-wide trailer on the lot. One can still dream of having a fine old Victorian. The water is still pretty high and there [...]]]></description>

		<title>life goes on</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Not a lot of new things to report. We are still trying to get the house ready to sell. We will be moving down to the river when that happens. So there is a lot of work still to be done. I&#8217;ll try and post more fully in a few days.]]></description>

		<title>Pictures of Quinn&#8217;s Cove</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is how things looked down on the river the other day. For some reason, I remembered to take a picture during the cloudy day, but not during the sunny days. Anyway, you can see that we cleared out a lot of boats and junk. The Aqua Home is still there in the distance. The [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cleanup at Quinn&#8217;s Cove</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This weekend was a successful cleanup of our place on the river. A lot of good people showed up to help. Took out two pickup loads of garbage, left behind by some fishermen who&#8217;d been using one of the houseboats without permission. Took three boats out of the water. Best of all is that the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Where am I?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, we&#8217;ve survived the holidays. It&#8217;s been pretty quiet. The kids have moved out, into their own apartment. My cats have been learning to rule the house. We had a nice river cruise on the Portland Spirit. We weren&#8217;t able to do much as we are currently fighting a lawsuit from Dept of Natural Resources. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Quick update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So Lon is safely back home and continuing to heal. We are going to have to do battle with DNR as they are denying renewal of his lease. So we have lawyers in our future. It&#8217;s ridiculous, as they don&#8217;t pull this with the other people on this stretch of the river. So life has [...]]]></description>
