It was chilly this morning, but it cleared and warmed throughout the day. I sufferred the usual wait trying to get over the bridge into Portland. Portland is a city of rivers and bridges, and getting from east to west, or from Washington to Oregon, is a matter of waiting for the hundreds of other people in front of you to realize that there is only one way through. I am constantly amazed at the traffic pileups these bottlenecks cause.
Yesterday, I drove to Vancouver, BC, and waited to get through the massey tunnel on Hwy 99, always a jam, since the east-west road hooks into 99 just before the tunnel. They even close the oncoming traffic to one lane to steal a lane from the southbound folks, but it is a mess, and then everyone makes it into the tunnel, and zips along at 80km/h like nothing had ever happened.
Well, here is my file photo of Portland. Enjoy.
Really big news, the siding is complete on my house. Before/After to follow.
