Just back from Thanksgiving in Portland 2024
We saw friends (Kate & Dennis, College Buds), toured some schools (U of Eugene ^h^h^h Oregon, OSU) and saw fam. Oh and some shopping & Car charging.
Dave’s Hi/lo/Buffalo:
- Hi: new router working at Mom & Dad’s; Luc Lac
- Low: driving into Eugene (so sleepy)
- Buffalo: Poodle Chaps
Car Charging went better, but it’s still a PITA. Plugshare for the win in terms of finding Level 3 chargers. Excited to find the 160kw chargers outside of trader joes. We probably paid $40 in charging fees, in Olympia, Chehalis, Troutdale and Eugene.
Great to see the college crew, sounds like folks are mostly doing well. We had a meal at Pine St. Market. Showed my old House to Julian, he was impressed (was he?).
Fun time talking with Mom and Dad about memories of Africa. Funniest moment: Mom describing landing in Sierra Leon (?) with a hand bag full of household goods (including an Butchers knife) and being frightened of the armed soldiers entering the plane looking for “Missionaries” (they were looking for Mercenaries). I got some recordings of the chat.
Stopped at Snowpeak and a couple other fun stores. Found this amazing shoe at the Danner store, not sure I can afford it. Got some books at powels. Bagels from Henry Higgens (they were ok, not amazing).
Lots of good food: Luc Lac, Thanks Giving dinner, dinner with Dennis & Kate.
