This arvo after sweeping the deck, Brian was describing the commonly-known encryption methods used to subvert DEA and NSA agents from watching people when they are doing their private and usually illegal business, not that Brian condones that. It's just fascinating for computer scientists and me an amateur behavioral scientist.
These communication methods work a lot like state of the art flawless side-effect-free HIV treatment, combining a chain of improbable to beat (through encryption or mutation) methods which in product make solution astronomically improbable, essentially impossible. Snowden told us the top agent, NSA, cannot beat it. Simple, organic, and effective. Very cool.
We walked to the Guerneville cemetery told and did tai chi on top of the spirit of randy shilts. He wrote "the band played on" and died here on AIDS along with many of his friends. My heretofore nameless evil ex came up a few times, generally agreed that he was a despicable person and that we all hate him, but I told disbelieving chris and shannon that I learned in Chicago over cards that the doctor really ordered no visitors when they visited sydney during my long coma, it was not just the opportunistic schmuck's decision.
Craning I didn't take a proper shower the whole visit nor used hair gel or shaved. I fit in.
I am glad I got to catch up with brian
Chris spends most of his time at the river cleaning and doing maintanence. I remember that from the old days in Laguna, tons of work but very satisfying to show a group of friends a relaxing fun time they can't find any other way. My Laguna house and chris mtn cabin have a similar feel. Guests just don't want to leave. Chris put on a brilliant dinner party with genuine river folk, very sweet.
Amazing fresh oysters from Sonoma coast
Scary river girl
Alaska air prop to take me out of charles Shultz (snoopy) airport

Over Sonoma wineries
Jack and Andy will have to explain this geology when I get back to Sydney
Having a traumatic brain injury combined with fastidious planning provides beautiful surprises on my travels. I preplanned the airline, route and seat to get this view of spectacular Pacific Northwest volcanos.
Mt Shasta. California has it all.
Next up: Oregon has a itty bitty upstart volcano, but you know it's full of red hot lava, just the same
More volcanos, so small "cilllaxed" (Oregonian Brian's term) Oregonians don't even bother giving them names
A big reason I'm proud to be half-American: Alaska, the last frontier, saved from the nasty Russians in the 20th century. I want to see more.
I have Bittersweet memories of Alaska proper after my cruise last year. Thank buddha's wisdom all turned out well. I am happy to use Vancouver as my transition back to Sydney, same difference, more docile denizens, better fish, and colder water at the "beach", and my sauve life-long uni bestie girlfriend Nina. The cascade of warm experience across North America couldn't be better, still I want to go home.
I love Seattle: big, clean, gorgeous
Wheels down!
Seattle is a wild old west Law and order town
Massage: ahhh
