Death dodged again. Vacation complete.

I have endured another vacation to perhaps one of the most dangerous places anyone can think of - Oregon. Sure, there is no sales tax and they pump your gas for you, but don't be fooled, this tranquil beach is a time bomb.


There are lots of these signs posted. I like the character bounding effortlessly up the cliff. I imagine that's how I would do it. I'm told that once the sirens go off, we are 15 minutes from nearly certain death. None of this sissy 5 hour warning that the Indonesians had...well, kinda had.

Note the evacuation "safe" site is essentially a cemetery. Let's not sugar-coat it.
The good news is that the weather was ideal- about 65-70F. I like it when the map of the US is a blazing inferno of 90s and 100s and where I am located is the very definition of pleasant. In conclusion, if you were going to risk being crushed by a 100ft wall of water anyway, check out Cannon Beach Oregon. Posted by Picasa

Excellent reconnaissance mission. I'll remove coastal Oregon from the possible "Alpha Site" list.

And what's with 70 degree temps? I don't think it'll ever be that cold in Texas again.
