Well, it has been a week since I last posted....What a week. Oregon turned out to be ok. I just dont know how people survive on the wages that they get up there. I know that with the payments that I have to make each month, it would be impossible for me. My father is now here in California...and his journey just now seems to be beginning....I wish him well. I owe him alot. Especially since I had about 10 years of screwing things up and he was always there. Kudos. I will write later.
