I saw the ocean yesterday! Twice!
We drove from Portland to Coos Bay. It took about five hours. MeMa and I stopped at a lighthouse and whale watching station. No luck. We also stopped in Reedsport for some McDonalds
I was freaked out by one thing. You can't pump your own gas in Oregon. I'm told you can't pump it in Washington either. Heck the main reason that I stopped at the Exxon was to use the bathroom. If they aren't going to have that then I'll just find out which one is the cheapest. It seems none of them have bathrooms or markets. Just so you know, I've heard you can't pump it in New Jersey either.
I saw some seals, sort of. My room wasn't ready at the Motel Six, so we decided to find Clifford. We went to the Chamber of Commerce and bought a map. We found Clifford from a letter that MeMa had received. I think that we shocked him. He owns 14 acres and lives a way off the road. He figured out who I was by the fact that I have a shaved head and a goatee.
We drove around for a while, not really looking at anything, and then went and ate some Thai food. It was a pretty boring day. I think that I'll have to ditch them a couple of days to go out on my own. That's the only way I'll get my toes in the ocean. MeMa yesterday didn't even want to go to the beach.
MeMa also has demons in her stomach. I have yet to see her eat anything that they don't fight over. I shall watch it with great interest. Clifford frequently spoke of wife without being torn up too much. I guess he took the transition into widower pretty well. That's all for now. I'm charging up the digital camera. Maybe I'll have some pics tomorrow.
Later folks.
