Made it to Oregon; yeah! Thought the trip would take 3 days but busted through in 2 with only 1 speeding ticket to show for it. (So I owe $20 bucks. Spend it well, Montana.) Got an apartment in Springfield but I'm staying with my pal Bob in Eugene until my cable modem & etc. is ready; shouldn't take too long. Then the job hunt begins in earnest. I will be glad to be gainfully employed once again; I hate the search process!
