excellent pic, but poor lead-in ---suggestion: "my girlfriend got out of her college class early yesterday and called to see if I wanted to have a couple of drinks with her at her house. On the way over..."

It's the store we hate to love.

Very nice. So, it doesn't rain in Oregon all the time. That's just what you guys tell the people from California so they'll stop moving to Oregon.

Except, due to traffic, there isn't any place to let the car run.

BTW, your car is awesome! Great colors!

Actually, it was. Picked up a rock chip on the way home. Safeco Insurance will take care of it, fortunately.

I have to be very careful with my camera gear...it's really ideal when the surf is high, and the breeze is off shore! Not so much salt spray!

I guess it depends on whether or not you want to buy groceries....not my favorite store either. I just park out in the north forty and all is well!
