The Good, the Bad, and the Unemployed
Three years ago this month I was unsuccessfully job hunting in Portland (put up at the McMenamin's Crystal Hotel). Now I'm retired in Eugene having purchased a small woodsy condo. Changing times.

The Allure of Decrepitation
Traveling the back roads from Bellevue to Portland on Christmas Eve eve, I screeched to a halt as I came upon this collection of fabulous walls and fences in Centralia, Washington.

Down by the riverside
Captured these as we looped down to Oregon at the end of July, weaving along the back highways following the tail end of the Columbia River.
Not much going on in this old fishing port on at the mouth of the river, but they do make an effort keeping Main Street colorful and "vintage"!
Rhymes with "papoose."
Scappoose is a surprisingly thriving strip along Highway 6. This building looks like it's been through a few bar fights.
Even the front door is slightly gimpy.
Time remains frozen on the banks of the Columbia. Except they do show 3-D films.
I don't know about Robert Frost, but I do like a good wall.
Green patch of mystery in another wonky door.
Signage galore...keeping the past alive.
A wonderful north-end riverside neighborhood.
A hot morning, good for manly shorts and tank tops.
The Western Well, not to be confused with the Western Wall.
Our family had this car, or "as close as dammit," in the '50s. My father dubbed it "Uncle Wiggily."
