Raising the Bar: My Tiki Bar

4783

I drove 4783 km through the Pacific Northwest for work, that's about fifty hours of driving in thirteen days! Plus I worked five of those days so it was more like fifty hours of driving in eight days! In November too.

Be careful. The singer has potty mouth in this song ...

Medford Oregon

Seaside Oregon

I'm enjoying the moody fall weather here at a little town called Seaside on the Oregon coast. Angry clouds and sand blasting winds with the damp musky air give reason to the numerous drive through espresso shacks in a coastline that looks oddly Scottish.

I'm not sure what's going on today? I'm gonna circle November five on the calendar. Pretty much every bit of technology I have used today has crapped out at one point or another, oh shit, there goes the power again ... Almost lost all my work again ... Maybe there's some sort of freaky solar electromagnetic disturbance going on? But that would not explain why my toilet won't work. It also won't explain why the little mechanical focus switch on my camera stopped working. Besides these things, my camera flash stopped working, my iPod stopped working, the AC in one of the rooms I was shooting was fixed at eighty seven degrees and would not change. My electronic room key would not open my door. There was a complete power failure in my hotel and the restaurant next door and my trusty work laptop would not start-up. When it did start up it quickly crashed three times after being on for about ten minutes.

Maybe my hotel is on an ancient Indian burial ground? What to do. Time for dinner I guess. Maybe shark tacos again at Taco Shark? Or maybe some Snowshoes, taco meat and melted cheddar on potatoe skins, at Bigfoots Steakhouse?

Decisions, decisions.
