Eugene, Oregon: Back to the town where DT and I started this little adventure called Our Life, but can I first rant on and on and on about the terrible weather? So cold. It poured rain nearly all night. Miserable. Thank goodness Seven Feathers has a great fitness center. I used a treadmill. DT ran in the rain because he is a nut job running machine. After his jog (while I was still huffing and puffing on the hamster wheel), Dave had a good soak in their spa. Seven Feathers has an indoor pool and hot tub and the entire room is like being in a sauna - really lovely on a day like today.
Did I mention it is snowing in Central Oregon?

As soon as we set up camp (in the pounding rain), DT headed off to see the progress at Historic Hayward Field - a company is putting-up temporary grandstands for the Olympic Trials - and then went over to the Oregon Track Club office to pick up his pay check see his buddies.
IMPORTANT PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT:
I know many of My Dear Readers have young children or grandchildren and would do anything in the world to keep them safe. Have you had a Whopping Cough (Pertussis) booster? The shots from our childhood have long-since run their course and no longer protect us from whopping cough. The disease goes in cycles and now cases are rising especially fast - the State of Washington is expecting over 3,000 cases this year! From the Center for Disease Control: Pertussis most commonly affects infants and young children and can be fatal, especially in babies less than 1 year of age. FATAL. Talk to your doctor, then run down to your local pharmacy and get the injection - which is usually covered 100% by most insurance plans. Many localities are offering free immunizations at this time due to the prevalence of Pertussis cases. It is bundled with a tetanus booster. Do not go around children until you are protected! DT and I had boosters before Leo was born - we hope you do the same. Thank you very much. I now return to your regularly scheduled blog.
Since I didn't do much today at all, I must rely on others for today's column. Time to get a few things off my computer desktop.

I will leave you with one final gorgeous photo. I hope you are not hungry. Or dieting.

Watch Pink Martini perform "Hey Eugene" on David Letterman.
SLOGGER REPORT: Three miles. Ho hum.
RV PARK: Premier RV Resort. I-5, exit 199 in Coburg (just north of Eugene). Paved pull-through full-service sites, free wifi, newspaper delivered to your door, hot tub in season. Very convenient to all the RV repair and maintenance services in the local area and across the freeway from Monaco and Cummins. Freeway noise and lots of live-ins, but we love to stay here because of the convenience to everything we need in the area. Friendly owner on-site.
