Geez, Amos sounds like he's goin' to Perdition (another place in Idaho you could skateboard). I mean, heck, it's only Portland -- Powell's Books alone is a good reason to visit there. And the rose garden is wonderful. Poor Amos -- what with him being from San Diego and all I suppose he's afraid of the rain, which might melt him like The Wicked Witch Of The West.

In the meantime, somebody deal. I'm up for a game of Crazy Eights -- c'mon, ante up.
