So it looks like Roe v. Wade isn't long for this world.

Friends, I live near a Planned Parenthood in a liberal state and I have a very nice guest bedroom.

If you or someone you know needs help getting an abortion, if they need a place to stay, please talk to me.

Amazon friends.

Why.

Why am I clinging to this country.

cool, maybe my dream town will allow me to emigrate

Downtown has a lot of multilevel buildings with public spaces, all smooth pink granite, and kids with skateboards, and little hole-in-the-wall restaurants.

You can rent boats on the pond with cattails or you can walk around it, on a little boardwalk. The cafe serves tea and nice scones. There is a little gift shop on that stretch, too.

I would draw a map, but because it's a dreamland, I don't think that things actually connect up in a sensible way.

And this is the benefit I get from having been woken up by @eldang getting a charley horse. Thanks, darling! Hope your leg feels all better soon.

If you take the bus really far out, in one direction you get to the airport.

If you don't go up the hill in the residential neighborhood and instead keep going a little way to the left, you get to a beachy area with madrona trees.

To the right you eventually come to big fields and farms.

Because I was awoken suddenly this morning, I was able to bring the town that lives in my dreams into my waking life with me.

There's a good-sized city there, that I consistently inhabit in my dreams. It has a bookstore / cafe that is next to a pond with cattails. You can get there by bus but you have to wind around through a residential neighborhood and go up a large hill.

Downtown is not as hilly but it is connected up strangely with the rest of the town.

Also one of my panniers broke so I am supporting it with a bungee cord, the most crucial piece of cycle touring equipment

Bike camping with @eldang !

We went to a campground on a nearby island and shared a hiker / biker site with some other nice folks on bikes. We saw lots of herons and gulls and crows and eagles and kayakers and shellfish and one very friendly cat.
