We have been following Oregon’s news. So far at least our state is really cropping up as one of the stars. The whole west coast and its sane trio of governors should just secede. Build a Wall!!
4 years agoFrustrating, but good for a laugh. We only included it so people will feel sorry for us. We’re feeling guilty about having such a good time in these dire times, and needed a bit of adversity.
4 years agoYou’re right, it does! Also, it’s missing a young person walking along scuffing their feet kicking up dust.
4 years agoThat’s very funny. I agree!
You should read yesterday’s post (The Garfield Loop) too. You’ll enjoy the advertisements for the old Palouse Brewing Company.
Wound Care for adults: Drink one beer daily until wound heals. Once healed, keep drinking one beer daily to prevent re-infection.
4 years agoKind of reminds me of the Mt. Jefferson Wilderness...without the fence.
4 years agoThat was on Nina Ave. I can remember all of the times we would bike everywhere around Salem. My backside would be so sore afterwards, but we always made it.
4 years agoYeeesh, you two!
That should be enough adversity for your stay in Pullman.
Hope this hyper granulation phase of healing is brief and that it doesn't cause any more trouble!
As for the mask .. if you have a mini-bungees and a spring loaded cord lock you can fasten the 2 ear cords together and tighten behind your head. Ron will send a photo of his mask.
Ugh! What a frustrating day! Sorry you went through this and hope you an trudge through the rest of the auto-pay updates quickly.
Maybe all of our bad weather and extreme tire mishaps helped prevent credit card fiascos on Undaunted Porridge (?)
Classy!
Have you seen the updates on Oregon.gov?
Sounds like masks will be required more frequently. I still feel it's unnecessary to wear them outside where we are .. just not that many people out and about and pretty easy to maintain distance.
This was an awfully frustrating day for you both I'm sure but for some reason reading this made me laugh out loud several times. So, for what it's worth, thank you.
Years ago Andrea and I had our cards frozen for some stupid reason when we were in Luang Prabang, Laos. The credit card company wouldn't deal with it online and told us we had to call them on the phone. We didn't have phones. In those days calling from Laos on any phone was next to impossible. We spent many days and lots of money using a travel agent's phone just trying to get through, which, finally Andrea did, but not me. It was right at the beginning of a 4.5 month trip but I was able to go without a credit card. Very frustrating ordeal. I think we all have stories like this. It was just your turn.
Oh, right - Cutoff, not Crossing. It was a great film. And filmed in Oregon, authentically. The trail ran not that far south of where we were biking in John Day. I was reminded of it when I was reading up on the Harney Basin.
An interesting fact: James Terwilliger came across on the Cutoff. His wife also was in his party, but died in the crossing.
Meek's Cutoff - a great film, filmed in eastern Oregon.
4 years agoMuscle tone! Of course. I haven’t been keeping up with my ear wiggling exercises. Thanks for the tip.

You and Andrea win. That’s a way worse horror story. Today’s was just The latest in a long series of plastic money fiascos, including the time last fall when the ATM ate our card in Moura, Portugal. It’s why we’re always wrapped with multiple layers of backup protection now.
