100824 - Woodburn, Oregon
August 24, 2010
Woodburn, Oregon
On the highway, some hotshot trucker creeps into our lane in heavy traffic just south of Portland and rips off our right front mirror. I tried to run him down but he got away and his license plate was too dirty to read and there were no markings on the side of his truck (18 wheeler). Even if I could have caught up to him it would have been impossible to prove with no witnesses any way. Finding a new mirror is going to be tough.
Later that day, at twilight –a young guy wearing a New Zealand shirt befriended Danny (or visa versa) as we overnighted at a Wal-Mart. He and his friend have been touring the United States for 12 months from coast to coast and were just getting ready to return home this month.
He offered to take Danny for a walk. He seemed OK but after about 20 minutes I was getting a little nervous as the sun was setting. However, 10 minutes later they returned and Danny was tired but apparently happy.
