Devious Journal Entry
So, I sold my house in Vancouver,WA & bought a house in Eagle,ID. Eagle is a small town next to the Boise river, which separates Eagle from the cities of Boise and Meridian. It's a small town with many shops, restaurants, and an abundance of friendly folks. The place just feels right.....this just may be my home to stay...at least in this life....
Devious Journal Entry
So, it looks like I'm going to sell my house in Vancouver,WA and move to Boise,ID. It's a new city, a new beginning, another chance to reshape my life like a smith reshapes metal. I'm rather looking forward to the upcoming change. This move is as much about new beginnings as much as moving away from the effects of gentrification that is dismantling the Portland/Vancouver area that I once knew.

So, the state of Washington(where I live) is getting rid of Columbus Day in favor of Indigenous Peoples Day. I'm very happy about this, since I have always seen Columbus Day as the celebration of the systemic rape & conquest of the First Nation' People. As a Metis, someone of mixed Native American(Salish) & European ancestry, I've never liked having to endure the soft bigotry that is so prevalent towards Native Americans & our fading culture. Within recent years some of that open disrespect has been taken out of the public mainstream piece by piece(like the fight to remove the racial slurs, like "redskins", from being sports teams
I am Metis
I am Metis, I am the broken line. I am of your blood, but I am not you. I am of their blood, but I am not them. I am born of your false words and shame. I am the broken line. I am Metis.....
