Oh, how I miss Oregon!!!! I'm just surprised the car isn't a Subaru and the guy isn't wearing Birkenstocks with a pair of wooly socks :)

Sorry about the cold.

Maybe someone will utter the word "logocentrist."

Listening now to Dr. Pat Barclay on competitive altruism -- exhibiting generosity as a way of increasing your mating market value. Can't say more now - have to take notes.

Eugene is a wonderful city! I've always enjoyed my visits there. And you're within striking distance of the Oregon Coast and the marvelous sand dunes around Florence.

Does he have a boat to match every jacket?

Darn, someone beat me to the Subaru comment!

Those roof rack bars look too close together. My guess is he is not for Oregon...maybe Portland.
My main memory of Eugene is from a road trip. I came out of my hotel room and a long past her prime woman walking down the hallway with a little boombox asked if I had called for a dancer or if I was interested in any other services. Scary.

I saw an empty rack like that on a car in a parking lot once... The brand name was "Nice Rack". Cracked my shit up.

The only thing missing are the ducks! I always enjoyed visits to Oregon. Hope the convention goes well!

I love Eugene, have a great time there.
But: What is it with Northwesterners and teal? Not my favorite color.

Its the constant cloud cover - ruins your ability to judge colors effectivly
