Sarah Hoopes is a data miner who dreams of becoming a wind farmer, a futurist who blogs fifteen years ago daily, and a homegrown Cascadia liberation sympathizer.

Greg Gasperin is a simple man who enjoys indulging in simple pleasures ranging from torturing unsuspecting natives of a small village in Northern Italy to talking smack about his grandmother.

From Back Fence PDX:
