Back from Oregon = a total of 16+ hours in the car along the 20 and 101 (the 20 being the most god-awful stretch of dry black hills at 7pm on a Monday night) and 64 hours of coastal Southern Oregon beauty. Several trips to stare at the jagged, rocky beaches, crashing waves and pick through the shells and pretty stones and pieces of glass. Too much bad/good food. Too many, yet not enough small, lost-in-time roadside towns and boarded up buildings and wondering how about how the process of time wears something down to nothing.

Other pictures may come later but here are the first two snapped inside a Stop N Shop (or was that a Gas N Save?) on Friday somewhere pre-Willets. Cory thought this might make a good gift at this year's white elephant gift holiday party.

(Sorry about the quality - they're from my camera phone [yeah, the same one that nearly got me banned from the Elektra screening - in retrospect, oh how I wish it had] but I was glad to see someone finally address the serious health hazard that is chocking.)
