I’m spending the next week on a 12′ ladder in the downtown Visit Bend offices, painting a wall mural, way up high. It’s nice to do things like this again, something different, painting animals for an organization called Leave No Trace. The dogs stay home with Gary, I walked around a little downtown. It’s kind of like a cross between New York City and Santa Cruz down there, everyone bundled in parkas and boots. I like it better up at my house in the wilderness, although the weather status is currently, snow.
