Where in the World is he?
Vancouver, Canada. Not the fake Vancouver in Washington, which exists only as a bedroom community for Portland Oregon in order to avoid Oregon taxes. More power to them, but Portland is nicer. So is Eugene, Oregon, one of the nicest small towns in the US. Have I insulted enough people in both countries yet? Anyway, I have lived in Vancouver most of my life and the rain must have rusted some of my mental circuitry because I think it is the best place in the world to live. I like big cities, and I think I could be very happy in London or Berlin or Paris or New York, all cities that Ive enjoyed. For a year or so. Long term I gotta get back to the Wet Coast.Who is he?
Hmmm... Opinionated R Us. Stubborn, too, or so I'm told. Deal with it. I have opinions on just about everything but I try not to get irate at contrary ideas. Much.Will he amuse me?
Maybe. I'm an omnivorous reader and am interested in, among other things, history, science, archaeology, psychology, science fiction and a myriad other things. I have been a Chartered Accountant, an off-bearer on a green chain in a plywood mill, a utility man in a pulp mill. I have riding experience of over 100,000 miles on my Harley, riding through most of the western United States and Canada. I can contribute to the community. And I think I will.Conversations
