Had to make a quick run down across the border to pick up some parcels.
It still feels odd to come down again though. In 2016 when the orange man won the election we made one trip down on the motorcycles and I just couldn’t do it again. Something just felt so fundamentally wrong about his win that I couldn’t visit again until he was gone. I opted out of several conferences over the next few years, but then COVID arrived on the scene, and so the lack of travel south was extended.
In December I attended a conference in Portland, and it was a really odd feeling to cross the border and spend a few days but, since then, I’ve made a few online purchases from sellers that will ship free within the US and have made the short track down to pick them up.
It’s starting to feel a bit more normal to cross now, and I’m hoping that I will return to day trips down on the motorcycle again…because I really do miss some of the roads.
I like mailboxes, so here are a few….though I admit that I was a little self conscious getting out of my truck and taking photos of people’s mailboxes….kept waiting for someone to confront me. Never happened, guess they just figured it was a weird Canadian.
Just a little bit of Photoshop fun to make a watercolour image out of a photograph.
