    Well, the earth continues to exist and in turn we do, so the ecochallenge never really ends.

      Okay, this was right-side up on my phone. It looks sideways here. I can't "fix it" if it was never broken.

    Another wonderful day to ride to work. The streets are still a little damp with leaves. After the downpour on Saturday, today felt like a respite. I enjoy having that five or ten minutes of silent pedaling. 

    We filled up and exceeded our bike parking at work again. I like that.

    I've been writing emails to elected officials regarding the cleaning of the Portland Harbor Superfund site. The last several days I worked on encouraging parties who would generally be friendly to pushing forward with that process, such as Sen. Merkley, Rep. Blumenauer, Gov. Brown, Mayor Wheeler, and Commissioner Fish. Today I wrote to Donald Trump. I hope I become the subject of a mean tweet, or even better yet, I hope he stops obstructing the clean up and instructs the EPA to cooperate with the process.

      I hope so. I'd love for the Portland Harbor to get the cleanup it deserves.

    Even this time of year, though it may be wet in NW Oregon, there is incredible beauty outside. A short walk each day reminds me of this.

       For some reason, on a computer, the photo is turned sideways. It straightens out if you click it. Weird.
