Moving

No, I did not move. My friend Seth (the Extreme Hiking in Wetsuits guy) lived
in a basement in NE Portland and started renting an apartment just off Corbett
near I-5. I cruised over to his place after work on Friday, and discovered
several of Seth's friends and random MiPLers moving his stuff into a huge
Budget truck. Seth used to live underneath an Old Portlander just a few blocks
north of Burnside in the 20s. His roommates were a tad odd--one of them grows
snails, but unfortunately I didn't see much of the rest of the place. Living
in a basement is not the most thrilling experience, I surmise, since the place
has very little natural lighting, and nothing close to what the upper floors
got. The house itself appears to be a rental property--big, but perhaps a tad
lacking in a few safety features, like electrical cable that's actually
nailed to something. And stairs that are flat. :P
