Portland

Well, I have successfully survived another trip to the fine cities of Portland, OR and Vancouver, WA. Flew out Wednesday morning and got back home Saturday night. One of our vendors brought us out. I had already been out there in July but my boss had not. We had a very good time. Plenty of fresh seafood and plenty of other abundent fare. We also found a beer that we both really enjoyed but now I think I need to find a way to get some here. It is from a brewery in Portland. The Name is Widmer Drop Top Ale. Excellent. We also got to go Salmon and Sturgeon fishing although we were about two weeks ahead of the Salmon run. We did not catch any fish, but we still had a great time. On the way back I also got to experience first class on the flight from Portland to Oakland. I think they felt sorry for us for having such a fucked up route home. Portland to Oakland to Denver to home. That did really suck. As we were coming in on the plane I started to see the snow that everybody back here was telling me about, and when I got off the plane I saw that we had probably 12 inches of the white shit. Well at least it is melting off now, although we are supposed to get more this week. We do need the moisture, but at this time of year, I think rain would be the shit.
