Well, your options are somewhat limited. It's partly the isolation. There's beer, but I'm not sure how good it is, given I don't drink it. Wang-du's first hotel didn't know how to do a gin and tonic was and that was a fairly foreign-visited place. I ended up being handed the whole bottle of gin. Um.

Neat thing about Bhutan's tourist thing is that you can decide to do everything or nothing on that $200. Lodging can be fleabag or freaking lux, though if you know someone -it's who your fixers are, but not in a nefarious sense. If you have a personal relationship with a Butanese, they just want to show off their country best. If I ever go back, I've got Pema and Karma at Tenzinling, who loved me- or are in a group, lux is the standard.

They closed over 117 Ann Taylor Loft stores this last year. Company was in some financial trouble.

That's probably my fault. I took a break from retail. But I'm back! And I want to try stuff on.

You could come up to San Francisco. There's one right down my street.

Hey Gud, I don't want to scare you but the Royals are going to be astonishingly bad this year.

Dayton Moore is an idiot.

The only reason this team might not lose 100 games is because of Zach Greinke.

Dang, y'all are making me want to go on a nice vacation. sigh. And ita is really making me want to go to Jamaica in particular.

Maybe in a few years?

I want nice vacation too. Which is totally ridic.

I can't find my handful of high school pictures that I had here. No idea where they got to.

Is FB being completely nonlinear for anyone else?

FB took my photo uploads okay, but it was slow to display thumbnails. Otherwise it seems fine.

So that's what happened to Gary Mortensen. See, he was going to drop off some stuff for me, but then I never heard from him....

Nehalem driver arrested after drugs, weapons found in I-5 stop near Eugene

Oregon State Police arrested a Nehalem-area man Tuesday after they found drugs and weapons in his car during a traffic stop on Interstate 5 near Eugene.

Troopers pulled over a 1991 Acura four-door sedan driven by Gary Mortensen, 26, at 1:50 p.m.

They discovered about a half-pound of marijuana, psilocybin mushrooms, hashish and drug paraphernalia, said Lt. Robert Edwards, a state police spokesman. The car also held two rifles, a machete, a samurai sword and knives.

Check out his picture - he does look like someone who'd get pulled over and caught with drugs and weapons. Plus he looks like he's in bad need of a nap good night's sleep....
