Today, I go into work and do whatever jobs they have us doing – just to try to keep us employed. We are closed. So, this should be interesting…
HERE WE GO!

Almost looks like the same horse… except this one is wild. Look at those very acute and pointy ears!

My friend took this pic. I think it is Tahoe… but it might be somewhere in Oregon. In any event, gorgeous.
Here is why the gorgeous Tahoe (probably) photo isn’t an Oregon (nope) photo. For10 months out of the year, pretty much anywhere in Oregon with a view of the mountains is under a blanket of either summer dust or winter freezing fog plus snow (east of the Cascades), rain, fog, freezing fog, sleet, rain that is freezing rain, rain plus high wind, and just plain old relentless cold rain, occasionally hail, and (very) occasionally snow (western Oregon). The other two months one cannot see any mountains because of wildfire smoke that hovers around 300-400 ppm meaning terrible long-term damage to horse and human lungs. My New Year resolution is to somehow, pandemic or no pandemic, manage to leave the state of Oregon after enduring a quarter century of misery here due to a job relo. Taking early retirement just to GTHOOD. Cannot imagine why anyone would want to live in Oregon.
