Neither Snow nor Rain nor Heat nor Gloom of Night

Will stop us from getting to Eugene for the Specialty. Although we saw all of the above except "gloom of night". I'm pretty sure there may have been locusts and tornadoes as well.

At any rate, we survived the trip down and are now happily esconced in our hotel room. "We" are yours truly, my friend Janet, and Janet's whippet Becca, or as I call her, "Beans".

This is a lovely location, and there's a river walk on the Willamette River right outside our door.
