They sell Kratom everywhere! Gas stations, convenience stores. We had never heard of it.
Kratom, which has been used for thousands of years by the local people of Southeast Asia, is becoming popular among the citizens of the United States, who are experiencing a number of benefits from it, like relief from anxiety and depression. The most important use of the Kratom is that it helps persons to detox from the use of opiate and help in its withdrawal.

Quiet day again. We went into Newport because the Pacific Northwest map I ordered from Walmart for store pickup had arrived. I wanted it for our road trip which starts on Monday. It’s a great Michelin map. I had planned on buying a USA atlas at Costco when we were there, but they didn’t have any. Remember when getting a map was as simple as stopping at a gas station and asking for one? Stores just don’t sell them anymore. And there is no AAA office anywhere near here. (It’s unlike me not having the map before we left, but there you go!) Anyway, we stopped at Otter Rock for a couple of pictures on the way home when we caught a nice sunny period.

Nice walk into town this morning and I saw seals on the rocks under the bridge near Depoe Bay harbor.
Inspired by my artistic patterns gallery yesterday, I decided to be artistic again!

Pictures through glass don’t come out so good!
It was cloudy and very cool, so we were bundled up for cocktail time on the balcony. As we shivered, the clouds magically parted and we got some nic e warming sunshine. Dinner tonight was back at Tidal Raves. More Eyrie, but this time a Rosé of Pinot Noir. More Seahawk Bread (baguette, smoked salmon, cream cheese, havarti, shrimp, red onion). More great food. Chowder starters. Mains: Elaine – Herb Crusted Pacific Rockfish with shrimp-caper sauce, smoked salmon potato cake; Joe – Oven Broiled Alaskan Halibut,crab risotto, vodka sauce. We shared a dessert: a Giant Warm Chocolate Chunk Cookie (with walnuts) and Tillamook Vanilla Bean Ice Cream.
Safe travels on your road trip. We are still in the 90’s here. So unusual for a CO fall. Family is all good. Elaine, Paul enjoys his new job. Take care ……
