Does anyone bother to notice lane markers there? Take care. T.W.

I'd be happy to show an old geezer with a questionable heart and unquestionable off-roading skills a few memorable dual-sport gems. If it weren't for jobs, I too would be in Oregon. Seattle tries way too damn hard to be a city.

I've decided the Escort will be just fine until the garage is above freezing. We're a one car family for a while. If it gets warm fast enough, we might stay one car since I rarely drive all spring-summer-fall. <br /><br />We have nothing but fond memories of Oregon. T.W.

It sounds like the cold weather might have been the bulk of the issue.<br /><br />When Hubby commutes by two wheels year round, there are usually only a handful of days ice or a rare snowstorm that prevents him from doing so.<br /><br />Come back to the dark side - I mean the ocean side.<br /><br />We are 89 miles south of Portland and 60 miles east of Newport. If we want snow we are a short drive away, but we like how it stays in the mountains.<br /><br />We woke to 34 this morning, but the sun is supposed to be shining - after the fog burns off.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.com
