One Last Day In Portland
Then it is on my way. Spent a lot of the day bussing around the city. This is one half of the fountain and pool entrance to the visitors info center in Pioneer Square.
Pioneer Square was having a flower sale. This is the Pioneer Court House.
I didn’t knock over the column, honest.
I love this stone work. Trying to imagine the tortuous conditions that must have existed at it’s formation.
They were installing new security screening devices at Providence Park; home to the Timbers and Thorns. I feel safer already!
Posting this from Cache Creek, Canada. Hope to include some pictures of the spectacular scenery next post.
Weather has been fantastic, 74 degrees F.
So far I've reached acceptable proficiency at the following, in chronological order: Silversmith, infantryman/door gunner, helicopter pilot, fireman, carpenter, residential contractor, FAA Air Traffic Control Specialist and crotchety old retired guy. Currently, I'm learning to fly again and that is what this is all about. 7/7/2020 edit: As I have had the opportunity to reflect (old people do that a lot) on my actual proficiency level at the above occupations, I feel adjustments are in order. The term "acceptable" depends on the observer, their own proficiency and experience level. Acceptable to me might be woefully deficient to the master. I think it would be more accurate to claim that I have earned a living wage at all of these occupations but never got rich. Actually, I feel that I have gotten rich at the last one. I have what I need and am profoundly grateful for all of it. The future looks bright indeed, as I have learned to fly again. For that I have all of you to thank. Thank You!
