Dear Oregon,
I think we are going to be ok together. I’m feeling optimistic.
It’s probably because the sun is back.
Or the fact that I realized I’ve had nearly two full weeks of social activities, including:
About that club …
It was packed with folks aged 25-35.
Hence, not folks like me. 😂
I enjoyed the people-watching.
But then this happened:
I have thoughts.
- This is LINE DANCING, not a sporting event. No need for the national anthem. (I would argue that we don’t even need it at sporting events.)
- This is HOURS into the night. Why play it THEN?
- Is this girl signing the anthem? If so, is that RIGHT? It looks made up. Like this lady. (Based on this, I think she’s full of it.)
In addition to the fascinating fauna people, the flora is pretty great too.
In general, I’m happy. Everything is going to be ok.
Thanks for being patient with me.
Your new friend,
Beth

Ah…the national anthem. It should be America the Beautiful. I don’t know when it should be played.
