Onto Fall after falling behind

A series of events culminated into the neglect of this space.  These events included:

1. Netroots Nation, wherein being a vegan sucked and I learned that even progressives are racist and homophobic as all fuck.

2. A trip home to Oregon, where there wasn't any time to take pictures of things, and where being with family limited my excursions to Portland's amazing vegan fare.

3. Losing the camera at the beach and having to switch to a camera phone.  Pictures of the journey to Oregon, discussion of the disgusting So Cal feed lots, and photos of homemade seitan bao to follow!
