Day 12 coast starlight COVID day 8

It’s not all bad.

Now I am sure that part of this is the pants stretching due to wear, but… I am liking what I don’t see.  

Portland Union Station

Waiting on the train. Yesterday it was 3 hours late, but looks to be on time today.  There is a huge service dog, legit, the owner has some serious mobility issues waiting. And a man with a killer cough. Oops he can hardly walk. He looks as bad as I did last week.

Hey, it’s time to train up. More later. Or not.

Home Sweet Home

Upgraded myself to a sleeping box. Used to be you would bribe the conductor, nowadays you can bid for empty rooms and roomettes. I feel sure the conductor’s liked the old system better. They wanted to feed me lunch. But, I want to enjoy the loose pants for a while.   I will do dinner. 

Made it to Powell Books proudly ILWU. I got an origami book. Of course.
But by grace. But by grace.

Next stop Santa Barbara. (Got 20 more minutes in the station.)

Under way
