Finally!


Bone Marrow Bob got his first courier trip of the year. He was antsy to get on the road again. Destination - Portland, Oregon Portland is not one of Bob's favorite cities but he found a few things to like. First, its all about the food. Only in Portland would they come up with Hillbilly Bento. There is some exceptional food in this city. The oysters are fresh as they come and slide down easy with home brewed Dead Guy Lager. Other things to like about Portland - free metro, no sales tax and great shopping. You don't even have to leave the airport to find beautiful art that Portland is known for. Did I mention no sales tax? Austin's airport has got nothing on PDX. They have live music and pretty good food.
It was a quick trip as usual. As Bob was headed toward his car to go home he spied the 4:20 to Frankfurt(a flight he often takes). He was glad he was not on it since the Iceland volcano had erupted. That plane might still be flying around somewhere.
