Slightly chilly, but we head for an early Charlie walk at Morgan Lake and continue the process of Canonization, benefiting from Jim’s camera. On the high plateau where the lake is situated, we see an assemblage of mounted cowboys herding cattle into a number of large semis. So we hear distant cow-sounds for the duration. Bumped into our old neighbor, Kent, an environmental scientist with HabLab, out searching to confirm the existence of a reported species of ocean duck on our own lake. And we swapped intelligence on daughters; Kent’s was also a schoolmate of Ivi’s, including college, and we find that Ivi and Miriam both are strongly drawn to Portland city life. On the way home, we thread our way through the convoy of trucks, then on down the road, find that one truck has taken a steep uphill curve too sharply and dropped a wheel into the ditch, requiring us to pull through the weeds to continue our descent.
