Its been so long since I visited Guitar Center in the past for many years I annoyed the sales people by my daily visits either to Hollywood location on Sunset or South Bay on Rosecrans Ave in Torrance CA as back in the day I could not afford own keyboard and would spend great deal of time at the mentioned locations practicing my music oh well now I have great collection of keyboards old and new plus software to go with it but it is too easy to sit and compose and the old days of inconvenience somewhat feel nostalgic.

Although rather terrified we didn’t show hint of fear yet realized animal desired some of our squirrel food we normally bring with us and fortunately for us we managed to not disappoint our new friend
Some of you may understandingly be critical of feeding the wildlife and rightfully so but lets consider how far we have already penetrated into the wilderness and managed to destroy the natural territory

This is our first camping after relocating to Astoria in late 2020. Fort Stevens State Park offers incredible views and diverse beauty on the other hand we were bit surprised that such enormous campground (close to 500 spots) offers only 5 low cost tent site alternatives as if was designed with commerce in mind suitable for RVs and rich audiences. We made the best of the trip and wanted to share the joy of simplicity so forgotten in complexity of life. The natural ambient energy field offered by natural habitat is impossible to describe unless experienced suddenly the taste of coffee potatoes sausage and even cheap wine gets enhanced by the natures healing powers.“Put you damn mask on” - screaming at some one for not wearing a mask is not solution to the problemTOM SKY2020-12-10 | Screaming at someone to put mask on certainly won’t help any ones safety but is sending waves of fear and anxiety further separating us from one another in in the battle with virusOregon Fires 2020 - Most Devastating Fires Ever Sky Covered in smoke sept 12 newport oregon updateTOM SKY2020-09-13 | Impossible to illustrate the sheer amount of devastation that is taking place currently here in oregon as well as other states so many people woke up mid night to fire in their home some did not even got a chance to escape real and horrific stories keep emerging rapidly. Smoke keeps coming in and staying in windless condition reminding us how basic things such clean air we never think about once taken away can truly compromise your health. we found shelter in a hotel room with running AC and manage to stay isolated from the debree and smoke today we are being offered shelter at friends house and will be looking for humidifierOregon Fires 2020 - Catastrophic Disaster of unseen proportions September 11 Newport OregonTOM SKY2020-09-12 | Sept 11 update from Newport Oregon Coast - I'm beyond fortunate to be near coast during the most horiffic and devastating fires yet to date
despite being next to ocean the air quality (well over 400 epa) made us feel dizzy and we developed throat inflammation barely after 2 days smoke and debree fallout it's a miracle we were able to book hotel room just in time the comparably "fresh" AC air offered us relief from breathing the dust we managed to restore our dropping energy level enough to start collect our thoughts on the disaster

New Lesson learned and more confidence in solar energy gained as a way to power up your systems on the road independently and effectively.

Perhaps just an additional musical tool in modern studio never the less it does bring us into more organic approach of more creative and fluid approach to play music.

This was extremely upsetting and depressing event for this reason i decided to post this video as i still haven't felt completely safe while staying in my van overnight in Portland area ever since.

While continuing to support her self from own business as hair designer and adopting campgrounds as her backyard she is definitely not interested in returning to the traditional job / rent arrangement as she reviles to us in her very first interview for YouTube.
