<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>I got hopelessly lost in Portland
once, when I ended up in a residential area and saw a guy washing his car (Healey
content: and it wasn’t a Healey!). I told him where I wanted to go and asked
if he could give me directions. He went in and came back to present me with a
roadmap of Portland! This was, of course, pre-GPS. It gave me a most
pleasant impression of Portland’s residents. I still have that map.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

may remember my son lives in Portland on SW Powell so before Covid we would
take the light rail train from PDX airport to downtown Portland Check into an
Airbnb enjoy walking a round dinner at Jakes for the day. Next morning we
will take the bus with our Honored Citizen passes all the way out to SW
Portland and down Powell get off the bus and walk one block to his home. If I
remember your part of Portland does not enjoy those routes,
unfortunately. But, regarding Portland Transportation versus the rest of
the USA, it is number one in our minds. We hope your city and state
officials continue to expand the train system even out to Dundee we could enjoy
the wines of Ponzi, Erath, AtoZ etc. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>I sold my old truck and realized how much I used it, so
bought a newer, more efficient one. 4x4 for when it snows. Five seater to carry
people and our things when we camp, pulls my trailer and lots of stuff in and
off my property. Our next car will be a plug in hybrid. My friends with
Prius' need me to haul stuff them all the time...<o:p></o:p></p>
