Just noticed that my Obsidian notes folder was missing a lot of files. I use iCloud to sync it. According to Time Machine, the data loss happened almost two months ago. Restored from there to separate folder. About to work through identifying changes with git and restoring. Ugh.
All social activities happen in bubbles. Even IRL. As long as a platform allows me to manage that bubble, I’m fine with it.
When President Biden visited Portland recently, his motorcade went down the road that’s two blocks from our place. We were away at that time. So now, Mr. Momo, our indoor cat, who never leaves home, has been in closer proximity to POTUS than either of us will likely ever be 😐
My iPad was cold to the touch this morning. Then I started reading Viticci’s Stage Manager article, enabled it for the first time, and started to play with it. Five minutes later my iPad was nice and warm. I like this feature!
Happy Diwali 🪔
Yesterday I visited a couple of galleries after a long time.
I got this gorgeous 12" x 12" print by Alice Christine Walker at Blue Sky.
There was an exhibition there of some amazing huge prints.
I saw prints of the Gravestones project by my friend Isaac at Blue Sky. I had seen these online but prints are always so much better.
I also went over to Blackfish Gallery where I saw these cyanotypes by my friend Kim. She is the featured artist this month.

Birthday Cakes
Continuing my new-ish birthday tradition I had three cake slices over three days.
From left to right:
- Malted Milkshake New York Cheesecake
- Mt. Adams Cake
- Triple Chocolate Cake
I’m not a big fan of cheesecakes but I took a chance on one this year. Although it was great, I’ll continue to choose regular cakes for this tradition.
Mt. Adams cake remains my favorite. It is described thusly,
Fluffy hazelnut-coconut cake, praline Viennese buttercream, wild huckleberry compote, and huckleberry Italian buttercream.
The cakes were sourced from Papa Haydn, which is about as old as me.

📷 A Bike Ride to Kelley Point Park
A few years ago we did a bike ride that went along the Columbia Slough and some wetlands to Kelley Point Park which is at the confluence of the Wilamette and Columbia rivers. At the time it was the longest bike ride either of us had done. We have recalled that ride fondly over the years. Today, on a very pleasant and sunny Fall day, we did it again!
