This is from Heather, who picked out this card because the back also had a picture of the Graceland Kitchen. Which is fab, I agree. I'm not eating one of those sandwiches, though. Nuh-uh. You can't make me.</div>

This is from Heather, who bought it for me because she thought I would like the informational part and I did! Graceland is at 3764 Elvis Presley Blvd in Memphis. He bought 13.75 acres in 1957 for $102,500. Amazing! That might have been right after he got out of the army?</div>

This is a quality movie in that it's pretty, the acting is quite good and the plot (husband runs away from family when he thinks an avalanche is going to sweep over them) very interesting. However, it is a very slow and deliberate movie, giving the viewer a lot of time to take in all details in a scene. Aside from multiple scenes of teeth being brushed, I had ample time to contemplate the many ways of transporting skiers at fancy Alpine resorts.<br />

Cost: $8.00<br />

But I only have two bread pans! So staggered baking it is.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlJeoGEGbzL4k9NdgQnbN2Yb-6yexo-FHcAicSZi1Lknd42NCkOkFSyMXwWnoC0tKWfQr1ixYL7ZIKsViqidK8gGBrIyWP7hmSzVKsncN4Le448wgl7QtHr4ACJswND5BlUuPdXzfGxBw/s1600/IMG_2390.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlJeoGEGbzL4k9NdgQnbN2Yb-6yexo-FHcAicSZi1Lknd42NCkOkFSyMXwWnoC0tKWfQr1ixYL7ZIKsViqidK8gGBrIyWP7hmSzVKsncN4Le448wgl7QtHr4ACJswND5BlUuPdXzfGxBw/s1600/IMG_2390.JPG" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At the time of this picture, I had two loaves rising, and had prepped the wet ingredients for the other four. When it was time, I poured the milk/water combo into a pot and heated it, then poured some of the warm milk/water back into the jar to loosen the honey. Then I stirred in the butter--melted in the microwave--and that made it easier to pour the liquid into the dry ingredients while the mixer was going.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The bread turned out great. But alas, no pictures.</div>

She remembered that I <a href="http://stenaros.blogspot.com/2014/05/postcard-from-singapore.html" target="_blank">loved the Vanishing Trades stamp</a> and so she sent me a new one in the series. Apparently the postage went up, so there are more vanishing trades for us.</div>

(Plus wall going up.)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hey, it's a picture in daylight! You can see the bottom floor (I assume there will be additional stories) is almost totally framed up. (Is framed up a term?)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdkow3Q9QIkxkcAOFZpy19LzbVGW2zg9IAe-km_T6EN-hw77btPrfCQTw0VSHSMuDA7kGSUXNWS7fI9cQ1sgs5IgWbSaiJBRrldr9vme5I2Nk3h3VtUdxey8fqWPlv2rRfUB_xORG9nK4/s1600/IMG_2382.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdkow3Q9QIkxkcAOFZpy19LzbVGW2zg9IAe-km_T6EN-hw77btPrfCQTw0VSHSMuDA7kGSUXNWS7fI9cQ1sgs5IgWbSaiJBRrldr9vme5I2Nk3h3VtUdxey8fqWPlv2rRfUB_xORG9nK4/s1600/IMG_2382.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>

What interests me is that the second half of the lot is not being framed with wood, but instead these metal poles are appearing. I think the wood-framed part will be two-story townhouses and the metal posts are the first part in a larger building, maybe four to six stories? It's kind of fun not having a picture of the completed project posted on the fencing. This way the construction is a guessing game for me.</div>

Gleefully delightful update with Sherlock cast as a mostly insufferable (but incredibly watchable) Asperger-y Consulting Detective* and Dr. Watson a recently invalided Army doctor home from Afghanistan. The first episode, especially (there are three 90 minute episodes in the first season) is quite funny as our two main heroes meet and get to know each other. All three mysteries were gripping and discussable and I look forward to catching up with all seasons of this drama.</div>

Waiting to exchange doors at Ikea, I slumped on this couch. Which Jan had in (I believe) purple once upon a time. Thus it will always be known as "Jan's couch" and not its offical name, whatever it is.</div>

When Matt lived in Southeast off of Sandy, and I lived downtown I used to walk to his house on a regular basis, mostly crossing the Burnside Bridge. Today I had to run an errand after school and it was quicker to walk back. So I noticed that the used car lot at the corner of Burnside and MLK has gone away. I wonder when that happened?</div>

Roselle, NJ 07203-2504? None of those come close to matching the city, state and zip. (the 7, 2, & 0 match in that digit order, but nothing else)</div>

So this letter traveled from New Jersey to my work in Portland, Oregon just because our street address is 105. Weird. I was so amused I wrote the recipient a note on the back of the envelope before sending it on its way.</div>

This is from an article about Green Zebra Grocery Store. It's a tiny grocery store that has the aesthetic of a natural foods store and the size of a convenience store. The owner is looking to expand to other neighborhoods and is drumming up investors.</div>

Here she says, "The Kenton neighborhood is part of an urban renewal neighborhood, and they didn't have a grocery store."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But the paragraph above says, "When the store opened in Kenton, the nearest full-service grocery store was the Interstate Avenue Fred Meyer, about a mile away." </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I live in the Kenton Neighborhood and I think Sedlar doesn't have a good grip on the Kenton geography. The Interstate Fred Meyer is four blocks away from me. And about six blocks past that is a New Seasons. I feel very well served by grocery stores. Also, even if the Fred Meyer is a mile away from the furthest reaches of the Kenton neighborhood, that's pretty darn close. Walkable in 20 minutes. I'm thinking of my friend who lives in Cully. Now that's an undeserved neighborhood for grocery stores. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm all for putting fancy convenience stores in food deserts, but I think maybe the neighborhood should be a food desert.</div>

It's a good year for book-to-movie adaptations and <i>Wild</i> joins <a href="http://stenaros.blogspot.com/2014/10/three-sentence-movie-reviews-gone-girl.html" target="_blank"><i>Gone Girl</i> </a>in the pantheon of engrossing books that became excellent films. The movie manages to make a long hike (which is, when you get down to it, a lot of walking and internal processing) engaging cinema. I think they did a particularly nice job of capturing the circular nature of thoughts when one spends large amounts of time alone as well as the vulnerability some women feel being out on their own.*<br />
<br />
Cost: $8.25 (bought advanced tickets)<br />
Where watched: Cinema 21 (Theater 3) with Kelly.<br />
<br />
*Which, by the way, really sucks. Thanks, asshole guys, for making women feel unsafe.<br />
<br />
Also! The scene that <a href="http://stenaros.blogspot.com/2013/11/snow-in-november-or-how-i-learned-that.html" target="_blank">caused much brouhaha</a> when it was filmed last year outside my school was in the movie! It did not land on the cutting room floor. Predictably, the scene itself was layered with music, so there was no need to have people ask the children to be quiet during recess. Annoyance aside, it looks really cool, like a real snowstorm in Minneapolis, not a balmy November day in Portland.<br />
<br />
Also, also! This is the <a href="http://stenaros.blogspot.com/2014/07/three-sentence-movie-reviews-obvious.html" target="_blank">second film in a row</a> I've seen Gaby Hoffmann be the friend to a woman who needs an abortion. She seems to be carving out a pro-choice niche.<br />

This is from regular commenter Jan, who bought this when she visited Austin for a wedding. She tells me it's her favorite postcard of Austin that she has ever seen. </div>

Me too! It was particularly great picking it out of the rest of the mail because I really had to study it to get it in the right direction and the cognitive dissonance while that happened was very fun.</div>
