One of the reasons I enjoy teaching in Copenhagen in the summer is the weather is better than Ashland (to me anyway, I prefer 70s to 90s). The air is crisp and clean in Copenhagen, and Ashland can frequently be smoky in the summer. This year I missed Ashland’s clean air summer season and returned just in time for the smoke.

Today’s photo comes from my return flight to Portland (PDX) from Iceland (KEF). This wasn’t anywhere near Ashland, and probably not that close to Portland. It could have been Idaho or Washington. However, visibility out of PDX was horrible so the smoke was very much in Portland.

In the three + days I’ve been home Ashland has been hot and smoky (although not as bad as it can become).

Lake Street Dive @ The Gorge (opening for Dave Matthews)

@lakestreetdive #GorgeAmphitheatre @GorgeAmphitheat @brittfestivals

On August 24, Lake Street Dive will be playing at the Britt Festival in Jacksonville. That will likely be my first Britt show of the year. Tickets are still available here.

I saw them last September when they opened for the Dave Matthews Band in Washington three nights in a row.

Near Yachats, Oregon

First of all, apologies to those of you who check in daily for a photo. Obviously, the blog has not been living up to its name over the past few weeks. I’ve been traveling, and hopefully I’ll have more regular entries going forward.

Today’s photo is from Thanksgiving a couple years ago.

More photos from that trip can be found here.

@brittfestivals @BritFloyd

Tickets still remain for this show at the end of the month in Jacksonville. If you don’t have yours already, you better hurry as it will sell out.
