about us brian (country mouse) is from new hampshire. karel (city girl) is from the new york metro area. in summer 2008 they are driving across the US and moving to portland, oregon. here are their adventures, photos, and observations.
August 16, 2008
My representation through cartoons
Karel made the animated us creatures so I made some of my own after being instructed to do so. I insisted that Karel's rendition of herself didn't look enough like the real thing. After tiring hours of tormentuous building I created these ones(really only 30 minutes). Make your own decision, it's ok say what you really feel, just know that if you don't like mine more you may have an accidental accident. So here they be.
Off topic comment: We are going to the Oregon State Fair in Salem, OR. Check it out at oregonstatefair.org. It appears to be entirely sweet so Karel and I have booked a hotel as so we can spend the entire weekend there and not have to waste gas and drive time. We will be attending the fair Saturday 30 and Sunday 31; of August that is. There will be so much to do our heads may explode from the excitement.
Oregon is proving to be a very exciting place to do activities (at least when it's not raining according to locals). The winters here I am told by multiple people now are a near constant cloud cover with an annoying light drizzle of rain almost every day. Good thing we've bought rain jackets. We will be needing pants though it seems.
Also I cleaned the house today with a dry Swiffer. What a pain. We really need to get a cheap hardwood floor vacuum like the Swiffer SweeperVac. Due to my extremely poor memory I didn't think of mentioning this to Karel when we were in Target getting a Swiffer dry sweeper.
I will apologize if anybody was expecting my website to be done earlier but I didn't realize how complex it is to construct a website. Karel is doing an incredible job and it's very time consuming. She has other stuff to do too so that makes it take longer also. Soon... I really have a large amount of pictures that need to be loaded and formatted correctly so that in itself adds to the delay.
Thanks to all the dedicated followers. More insanity to come. Good day!

Brian wins the "creature contest", although I don't recognize the guy with the hairy chest! You are going to miss the Prairie Home Companion Rhubarb tour at the fair. I like to listen to the hokey yarns spun by Garrison Keillor on Public Radio every weekend, although Karel might like the skits that are sponsored by the 'Proffesional Order of English Majors'. Others are the 'Ketchup Advisory Board' or 'Powdermilk Biscuits'. Told you it was hokey.
Have fun and eats lots of fair food and bring Pepto Bismal.
Well, I have to agree with David on the "creature contest". I think it is hilarious that I was going to comment on the chest hair too! (there should only be what, 3 hairs??) Enjoy yourselves at the fair. I will be bringing Chris to UNH on the 30th so that won't be as much fun (but think of all the less housework I will have to do once he is gone!!) Hugs and kisses to both!
I just checked out the state fair site and see that Willie Nelson is playing there...I would like to see him perform! Looks like a great fair (and let Wendy know this is the one you have to wear clothes to:))
