It's about 60 degrees and overcast with sun-breaks here in western Oregon.
S helped his long-time friend pack up everything they own in a huge U-haul; tomorrow B is moving his family to North Dakota.
It's about 20 degrees and snowing there in Nort-Dakota.
But there are no jobs here.
1,500 jobs in Lane county this last week disappeared as Sony and a paper mill and a mobile-home manufacturer closed.
So B has to move to ND to work as research staff for the university there. Aerial photography and such. He said it's a grant that will last 2 years, and then hopefully he can transfer back here to OR.
Ten inches of snow on the ground. Two little girls and a wife to feed and house.
I worry about Vay... B is Norwegian & lived in North Dakota when he was a boy.
She grew up in Borneo.
