Yahoo takes my money, hacks my email account, shares my Contacts list, ignores pleas for help.

Until September of 2011, I was a relatively happy customer of Yahoo Mail. I paid $20 a year for their “premium” service, not knowing that part of their “premium” benefits included giving out my contacts information to spammers. On September 16 last year, I opened my Yahoo email to find a bunch of weird bounce [...]

After years of exploring this state by motorcycle, car, camper, and on foot, its variety and beauty still amaze me. Uncage the Soul Productions has made a gorgeous video showing some of the timeless glory of the State that “flies with her own wings”. “Finding Oregon is the compilation of six months of timelapse photography [...]

Crater Lake is only a few hours from home. It is a National Park. It is one of the top rated places to visit in Oregon. We haven’t been there in over 20 years. Pathetic, aren’t we? I’d always wanted to fit it into our itinerary, but hated to deal with the summer crowds, then [...]

Ashland Oregon

I admit, I was a little concerned about taking Mike to Ashland, I mean, it’s a theatrical town and Mike is decidedly NOT theatrical. I figured it was useless to try and get him to see a play, so we’d just be exploring the area and of course checking out their Antique Stores. I’d have [...]

After spending the night at the moderately sketchy America’s Best Value Inn near the north end of town, we got up for another early start.

Lava Butte, Newberry Crater and Paulina Lake

Got up this morning and watched the cats watching the deer who were completely disinterested in looking at anything but food. Decided we were too antsy to just do what we “should be” doing, and so we grabbed the backpacks and headed south on 97 to Lava Butte. We’d driven to the top about [...]
