Im giving up my place in Corbett effective Oct 1. The woman who owns the house, is interviewing for someone to share her space. Perhaps there is someone in the Shambhala community who is looking for housing. This is a great opportunity. It’s a perfect place to practise. Lu, the homeowner, gave permission for me to pass on her number (503-695-5791). Interested persons should identify themselves as associated with the Center.

Rent is $350. Great view of the Columbia River.

Thank you, Stephen

I’m going to take Miksang Level II in Seattle this weekend, taught by my best friend Miriam Hall from Madison WI, but I need a way to get there! I’m broke from attending Warriors’ Assembly, so I’m trying to spend the least money possible on transportation.

Do you have a car (automatic) I could borrow from the afternoon/evening of July 9th through the evening of July 11th? I’m an excellent and very careful driver with a clean record and will happily pay gas/mileage plus bring you gifts/shower you with affection/weed your garden/clean your house/etc. etc. to show my appreciation.

> Thank you so much for your consideration!
