I love playing a song

in iTunes and looking at the last time it was played and see that it was one year ago to the day. So much so, that I think I’ve mentioned it before. I definitely have different music for different seasons. Like beer and food. It’s holiday ale season. It’s chili season. Unlike summer, when it’s pilsner season and taco season.

(it was Gorky’s Zygotic Mynci I was listening to, btw)

Cossacks have pretty much taken over the coast.

We climbed out on the very rocky, often wet and massive jetty to attempt to get soaked by a sneaker wave. No such luck. I think people who have moved to the Pacific Northwest appreciate the ocean even more because the crashing waves remind them of the thunder they no longer experience on a regular basis.

I could tell you that this is the wreck of the Peter Iredale and list her tonnage, dates of her creation and home port &c. I will instead leave that up to the experts and just say that L and I ignored the weather reports of solid rain and made our way out to the coast anyway, finding perfect weather (minus the sudden squall that completely soaked our backsides), Ft. Stevens and it’s accompanying jetty and as per each trip to Astoria (now numbering two), a visit to Ft. George Brewery and the requisite sampler tray, this time a measly eight beers and one wasabi ginger ale. My favorites this time, being that the Bourbon Barrel stout was not on tap, were the Nut Red and their Vortex IPA. The pan fried oysters were superb. You should go.
