Straw Flowers

“Straw Flowers” ~ Rogue River, Oregon

Took this on an exploratory trip to Oregon as Teresa and I had always fancied living there.  We did, in fact, move to Salem, Oregon in 2007 and remained there for five years until my narrative science partners and I got hired to use our narrative modeling for use in counter terrorism for the CIA, NSA, NRO and the Joint Chiefs on several projects running up through 2015.

Salem was the only time (so far) I have lived out of my birth state of California.  Though we were cash poor, we lived extremely well, and had many of the best adventures of my life.
