Portland alá Bill We didn't paint the town red (I think they already have quite enough public art as it is), but had a fine time running around the "Gateway to Oregon"

Bill has a sausage at one of Good Dog / Bad Dog's PDX locations. Your friendly Portland asphalt torching crew. Flame on! The country's smallest public park -- Mill Ends Park. Look up "Mill Ends Park" in Wikipedia and please contrast that photo with this. See? So sad. The cactus says, "Why do you point and laugh?" I say "Ha!" We went to Pioneer Square/Place to look at the Vespas. And Stellas. Delicious! Also, the yet to open Apple store in Pioneer Square (Place?). A giant elephant scupture, slightly out of focus. You can really see the detail here...and the ugly woman in the car passing by. Giant public pendulum art. Bill does his best impression of a retarded zombie. ..and then loses interest. Pompous photographer outside of Powell's, Part I. Pompous photographer outside of Powell's, Part II Lunch at Blue Moon -- sandwiches and beer. Bill had the ginniest drink ever. A Bubblor! Dun-dun-dununundunnun--DUN! One of those beer-cellar elevators, like in Saun of the Dead. Side view of Zombie elevator action.
