    Moving back to Ontario from Oregon at the end of this month. We're packing up a uhaul, towing a vehicle and my wife is driving our second vehicle with our two children. Our daughter is immune compromised and i'm terrified to make this journey across the US back home... but not as terrified as I am to stay in this crazy shit storm.

    It will take about 6 days to drive home. We have to quarantine for 2 weeks once we get back. And i've been advised to remove the US plates from our vehicles so they aren't vandalized.

    I moved away from Ontario over 20 years ago to pursue life in the mountains of BC. Somewhere along the way i got seduced by interesting design gigs at Apple and Nike. But i could not be happier to return home, help out my mom, live a simpler life, and shovel my goddamn driveway 3 times a day for 7 months of the year.

    See you soon my Canadian friends.
