I miss home like crazy. I miss the trade winds, the warm Pacific ocean, the multi-culture environment, and people who know how to pronounce my name.

But I also love Oregon and the Pacific Northwest. And one of the reasons is our lovely fall colors. Ride along with Nolemana and I as we take you down Butler Road in Gresham, in Persimmon Golf Course, where the gorgeous Liquidamber (Sweet Gum) trees are in full color. I wish they’d last for a whole month. At least. Get slack key music for accompaniment. Led’s the greatest!
