On my way down to California, I stopped in Portland where, among other things, I visited Kagen’s studio. He makes some awfully impressive wooden puzzle boxes – check ’em out.

After a stop at Crater Lake on the way up, I’m back in Seattle, looking for a job and an apartment. Unfortunately, those who manage the latter seem to want you to have the former, and the former take long enough to find, you need the latter. A bit of a catch-22, eh? I suspect registering my car in Washington won’t be a field day, either.
