Today's adventure was to check out the produce stores on the highway between here and Portland. There are some good ones; my dinner consisted of local chanterelles sauteed with shallots and elephant garlic. I'm glad to find those markets; I've missed fresh fruits and vegetables since moving to this sunless region. Note: I like the cool, overcast weather. It's just not possible to grow most veggies on the coast.

Poor Sarah isn't doing well. She had two episodes today, during which she fell down and couldn't walk, followed by a period of exhausted immobility. I don't know whether they're seizures, strokes, or what. We're taking her to the vet tomorrow.
