Nope! Not sure what cut to post here, the David Letterman Live, or the studio vid. Both have the beautiful notes milked out of the Sho-Bud, but guess I will stick in the Letterman version link for now.


On a food note...I've never been to Portland, but I had a few Olympia Beers (close enough?)

WOW! That line tells alot...

With daughter #3 in Vancouver, BC (now officially recovered from the concussion), we make several trips a year up I5 passing through Portland. Our only visit was once when I "bared" the wrong way at an Interstate split and suddenly wound up downtown. Fortunately, at that moment, my ONSTAR navigator said... "You have left the planned route. Do you need help getting back to the planned route?". I said yes, he/she gave me directions, and in 15 minutes we had cleared the city.

Seriously, we usually stop for the night just north of Portland, about 30 minutes into the state of Washington. Inexpensive motels and moderately good dinner restaurants, Nevada CCW valid.
