Nice hotel and the Internet finally works. Went out for a drive to Silver Falls State Park, phenomenal scenery, spent some time walking around in there. (And only saw about 1% of what there was to see.)
Came back to Salem and picked a Mexican place at random -- best Mexican food I have ever eaten.
So far, I like it.
It'd get 5 stars but it's kind of annoying that half the town's on one side of I-5 and the other's on the other side. That's kind of retarded. Otherwise though, real nice.
Oh and gas for $2.79 a gallon, AND someone else pumps it for you. Niiiiice, as Borat would say.

 | Visiting with a friend who is over here checking out possible places to work. Basically, yeah. :)

 | I'm glad you took my advice and checked out Silver Falls State Park!
Portland is the same way...half on one side of I-5, half on the other. *shrug*
Heh. I still drive down to OR to get my gas pumped for me cheaper than having to pump it up here in WA myself! |
| My friend is a GUY. Sheesh. :)
And yes, Silver Falls was really cool, thanks for letting me know about that. Well worth the trip. We drove out to the coast today, which took longer than I expected, but that was really cool also.
Stuff in general seems to be cheaper down here.

| Actually yes, we drove by way of Corvallis (once upon a time I was considering transferring to OSU for compsci, probably should have) -- then out to Newport. We stopped for a snack in Lincoln City. We'll be staying nearby when we go back down in a few weeks.
And yeah, I'm comparing it to Seattle prices. We're up in the sticks but things somehow cost just as much where we live. (Some complicated equation involving shipping costs and yuppie density.)
|
| Oh and yes I got pictures, if there are any suitable for posting on here I will post them. :)

| *shudder* OK this has gone far enough. :)

| I was going to comment yesterday but I got scared...the conversation was getting scarier and scarier,:). |
| Yes but I think we've stopped the slide into insanity. Or that particular kind of insanity, anyway. In fact, I think I will delete those posts so I can make this viewable to everybody again. :)
|
| Oh that's not why I deleted them. It's better not to discuss a certain person we were discussing. :)
