BREAKFAST AT THE KOZY KITCHEN. MOST SMALL TOWNS, I HAVE FOUND, HAVE A KOZY KITCHEN OR A CORNERR
KITCHEN OR A KOZY KORNER OR A KITCHEN KOZY KORNER OR A KORNER KITCHEN KOZY, BUT NOT ONE "CRAP
KITCHEN" HAVE I FOUND.


AT THE KOZY KITCHEN, HAD THE PLEASURE OF SEEING "BLIND LEMON PLEDGE" THE FAMOUS BLUES SINGER. HE
WAS HAVING BREAKFAST WITH ONE OR MORE OF HIS FRIENDS.


MORE OREGON COASTLINE. NOTE: WHITE ROCKS AREN'T. THAT'S BIRD KAHKAH.....


PRETTY ISN'T IT? I FINALLY HAD TO QUIT STOPPING TO TAKE PHOTOGRAPHS, IF I HOPED TO MAKE IT TO
SOMEPLACE TO SLEEP AND GET GAS. ALMOST DIDN'T MAKE EITHER SHORT TERM GOAL.


STILL PRETTY RUGGED COASTLINE. NOTE THE LIGHTHOUSE OUT ON THE POINT.



THIS TRAGIC PHOTOGRAPH IS REMINISCENT OF THOSE SEEN WHEN WHALES OR DOLPHINS BEACH THEMSELVES
FOR NO APPARANT REASON. THESE SEALS, NO DOUBT MEMBERS OF AN OBSCURE RELIGOUS SECT, SWAM
FOUR MILES UP THE COAST TO A POINT WHERE THE ROAD WAS ALMOST AT SEA LEVEL. THEY THEN FLIPPERED
THIER WAY TO THE SPOT WHERE I AM STANDING SOME HUNDREDS OF FEET IN THE AIR ATOP A CLIFF, AND THEN..
AND THEN.... HURLED THEMSELVES TO THE ROCKS BELOW. OH THE SEALMANITY.

OR.....


SOME BASTARD SHOUTED BANG, AND EVERY ONE OF THESE SEALS JUST FELL WHERE THEY WERE.

OR.........

THE CHIEF SEAL SAID, LETS GET SOME SYMPATHY HERE, EVERYONE PLAY DEAD.

TAKE YOUR PICK.


MIKE AND SUE HOPKINS FROM TACOMA WASHINGTON. WE MET IN YACHATS. I HAD PARKED TO FIND A LUNCH
SPOT. THEY RECOMMENDED A GOOD FISH PLACE A SHORT WALK UP THE ROAD.



HERE IS THE SEAGULL THAT KEPT WALKING THE HANDRAIL LOOKING INTO THE WINDOWS AT THE FOOD ON THE
TABLE. YOU CAN ALMOST HEAR HIM SAYING "UH.. HEY BUDDY, YOUGONNA FINISH THAT?" BACK AND FORTH,
BACK AND FORTH. HE WAS STILL PACING WHEN I LEFT.


THIS IS OUT FRONT OF THE CRAPSTORE ACROSS FROM THE RESTAURANT. IT GOT ME TO WALK
ACROSS THE STREET FOR A CLOSER LOOK. I LOVE THE WHIMSY OF IT. NOTE THE "TAIL" IN
THE BACK GROUND. THE EARTH IS MOUNDED UP JUST ENOUGH TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE
A WHALE IS MOVING UNDERNEATH. I THOUGHT THIS VERY CREATIVE. I STILL DIDN'T BUY
ANY CRAP AT THE CRAP STORE, THOUGH.




SELF PORTRAIT NORHTBOUND 101 AND HEADED FOR WASHINGTON


I HAPPENED TO GLANCE OFF INTO THE DISTANCE AND WAS STRUCK BY THE THOUGHT THAT I MIGHT BE CLOSER
TO THOSE GIANTS IN THE NOT TOO DISTANT FUTURE.


THE BRIDGE CROSSING THE COLUMBIA RIVER. THAT IS WASHINGTON STATE ON THE OTHER SIDE. ONE MORE
STATE NOTCHED INTO MY BUTT, ANOTHER TO GO.
