Winter Time in Portland

Had some serious snow, for Portland that is. Depending on which weather person you were listening to, it was the worst storm in 20 or 40 years. Regardless, Portland isn't prepared for snow so it must not happen often. The streets here were never plowed, ever. They just waited for it to melt. And, we barely got out for trip to Hawaii on Christmas Day. Thanks to Paul, the kindly neighbor who got up at 6am and drove us there in his 4 wheel drive (with chains). Paul's getting some of the finest coffee Hawaii has to offer for that little favor!







Here's an outside shot and an inside shot of Jake's Place -- a snug little pool hall nearby. Good beer on tap and free wi-fi. Some not-too-shabby pool players as well.
