0:00.0	For the final time from the Jill Schwartz Memorial Library, Northern Post, this is Obscure
0:13.0	Season 2, Frankenstein, I am your host, your friend, your earlover, your literary mansplainer
0:19.6	in chief, and moments away from being a true Georgianologist Michael Ian Black, back
0:27.5	from Portland, Oregon, which was a mess. I don't know if you've been to Portland lately,
0:35.7	but things do not seem to be going well there so far as I can tell at least if the area that
0:41.3	an area as I should say that I was in or any indication. Now look, I'm not one to fall for
0:48.0	the media bio. You know, the media hysterics about whatever is going on unless of course it's

1:57.7	It's kind of what they, I almost look like refugee camps. And then on the outside of those camps,
2:03.0	there are more homeless people sort of intense. And I know if they're like waiting to get a spot in
2:08.3	those places or what's going on, but it wasn't depressing sight. Home is everything that is my
2:16.3	conclusion. Home is also where the heart is. Home is wherever I lay my head. All of those things
2:22.7	may be true. And obviously I'm feeling particularly reflective on the nature of home as I get ready to
2:29.2	uproot myself from the Jill Sports Memorial Library. My interest in recreational vehicles continues
