Dorena is a largely instrumental post-rock band based in Gothenburg, Sweden. "The Sun Has Blinded Me" is taken from their debut full length "Holofon", re-released by Deep Elm Records in 2009.

One More Bridge

The overnight low was a few degrees away from freezing, depending on which site you consult. There was frost on cars, lawns and roofs in the area. We kept the heat on in the study, which seems to keep the cats warm enough that they don’t wake up too early and come bug us for their first meal of the day.

My morning blood sugar was down to 104, a significant drop, most likely due to the relatively healthy dinner last night and the lack of sugar afterwards.

Following our morning coffee and brain games, we had oatmeal for breakfast. On a cold morning like today, it’s a nice warm meal, and it feels good to hold the bowl in your hand while eating it.

Because of the cool and overcast morning, it felt like it would be a very dull day. I almost wanted to crawl back into bed and sleep more. Then Nancy suggested we drive down to the Creswell Bakery for more sourdough bread. I said, sure, and chipotle brioche sandwiches, too. She agreed, and then I suggested that after we ate we could head down to Cottage Grove and see the only covered bridge in Lane County we had not visited yet.

Located on the south side of Dorena Reservoir and spanning the Row River, the Dorena Covered Bridge was originally constructed in 1949. The 105-foot bridge was bypassed with a concrete span in 1974 and renovated in 1996. It is also known as the Row River Bridge or Star Bridge, because it provided access to the nearby Star Ranch, once a large private estate that is now only about 100 acres.

On the way back to Springfield, Nancy took over driving because I was getting tired. When we got home, we both took a nap for about an hour, then I went out for a walk of 3.34 miles. It took just under one hour, and even with the day’s high temperature of just 59 degrees I still worked up a bit of a sweat.

For dinner, we heated up some leftover tomato soup and made grilled cheese sandwiches. Then I went to the Thursday evening recovery meeting, where the reading and much of the sharing was about responsibility.

After I returned home, we tuned into Colbert and then watched the most recent episode of “High Potential,” the new American version of the French series we discovered a couple of months earlier.

Just out of curiosity

Does anyone on here know of an old gold panner referred to as Renagade? Also known as Tony or Terrace? Lives out near Cottage Grove and Dorena in Oregon? If anyone knows of him let me know please. I want to know how far spread his infamy has spread. I know he taught two classes of japanese students how to pan over 20 years ago.
