Well, these past couple of days have been filled with scorching temperatures for us Oregonians.  It’s currently 93F outside, and we’re suppose continue with 80s.  75 is hot for us!  So, needless to say, am I super thankful to be living in an apartment with air conditioning and a pool! The apartment Patrick and I lived in the past two years did not have air conditioning, nor did the dorms, so we’re thrilled to be able to relax in frozen comfort.  The pool has proved to be quite popular, though it hasn’t resulted in much tenant bonding as I would expect.  Quite an odd array of characters live here…lots of older people, while also quite a few 20-somethings and a handful of families.

Currently, it’s antique fever here in Portland.  Check out this list of events!

Then in addition to all of this is the Portland Historic Races at Portland International Raceway, right next to the Expo buildings.  This event also runs all weekend.  Please look at the website for details.  I highly recommend this event if you love old cars and racing.

As for myself, I will only be attending the Palmer-Wirf show and the Historics.  The racing event has been a tradition with my dad for the past ten years.  I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and HAPPY HUNTING!
