Eugene, Oregon: DT and I returned our motorhome to her storage garage this afternoon... which has sat empty since mid-October. It needed a good sweeping first, but My Driver backed the Magna Peregrinus into the narrow garage like he was driving a Volkswagen Bug.
Such a Good Driver.
We had planned to bring our motorhome to Eugene for the weekend and have the tires replaced, but the appointment had to be rescheduled at the last minute. We were lucky to grab the last hotel room in Eugene during the busy Prefontaine Classic track meet weekend.

After securing our motorhome, we continued south (in our Honda) to Eugene to watch the "races before the races" - or the Pre-Pre... or whatever they have titled a free track meet before the "real" track meet tomorrow.
Fact is, there are a lot of professional athletes who want to race in the Prefontaine Classic. The meet is named after famed University of Oregon distance phenom, Steve Prefontaine, (who died in a stupid car accident nearly 40 years ago) in the prime of his running career. It is a prestigious meet. The track is legend. Athletes have great results on the hallowed oval in Historic Hayward Field. But the track meet is on television (tomorrow - on NBC sports somewhere - check your local listings) and has a very short time period... so the night before, organizers hold longer races most Americans lack the patience to watch (yet). Like the 10,000 meter (about six miles). We also saw a men's 800m race, two women's 800m events, women's discus, women's long jump and the men's shot put.




As it grew dark, the most anticipated race of the night - the men's 10,000m - started.




Another great evening of track & field at Historic Hayward Field. I expect nothing less tomorrow.
Until my next update, I remain, your happy correspondent.
