Seski Go Rogue Then Seal With Kisses

I Am Oregonian

Seski not get tired of saying that. Specially when cool ocean breeze mixes with bright, warm sunshine.

Seski leave Yaquina (need to find native american friend to help Seski understand what that mean) and head toward smell of barley and hops. Seski usually dry and put in bowl with fresh milk, but friends at Rogue Brewery have other ideas. Seski like those other ideas.

Seski get tour of lots of big metal cans that have what tour guide call "beer." Seski try to jump in metal can to swim in beer but tour guide panic and say beer not for swimming. Seski think it funny that tour guide not know Seski doesn't like swimming and was big Seski joke. Tour guide not think it funny. So Seski offer to buy him beer and that make tour guide happy. Then Seski realize not carry money which make tour guide not happy. Seski can't win sometimes...

So Seski head down road for hugs and kisses from flipper friends (no, not friend Flipper, he crazy dolphin). Seski go to Oregon Coast Aquarium and run into many people who get in way. But they want photo with Seski (Seski not make it to coast too often so many think Seski quite the spectacle).

Seski talk about and why Seski want to prove I Am Oregonian with friends from all over. Seski think Washington friends want to be Oregonian too. Many people listen and many want to stay in touch with Seski. Seski think Oregonians a very friendly lot, those non-Oregonians even become friendly when in Oregon.

Seski get to see all sorts of new friends who live on sand and big water. Seski go in tubes that let Seski walk through water and not get wet. Seski a bit closetphobic but see light at end of tunnel so feel better about experience that very tubular. Many feathered friends have big wings to take advantage of ocean breezes. Seski thing big wings also give big hugs so Seski try to see who give biggest hug (Seski not win...)

But soon Seski get a big surprise (big, sloppy, wet, tickly surprise) when go to see flippered friend Lea. She very affectionate and not scared of Seski which make Seski happy. Friend Lea give Seski kiss and Seski thank Lea and tell Lea about big adventure at aquarium. Seski have fun and time go by very quickly so time for Seski to go see more of Newport (Seski wonder if ever called Oldport?).

I Am Newport!

Seski Start I Am Oregonian in Grants Pass

I am Oregonian.

Actually, Seski is sasquatch, but Oregon and Oregonians treat Seski with respect, Seski like Oregon to be home.

Oregon 150 Challenge fun, er... challenge for Seski (that redundant?). Seski take compass down to Grass Pants and explore the area.

Seski start walking through lots of doors with pretty pictures but Seski keep bonking head on door and no one open door for Seski. Seski sad until realize door not supposed to open but simply to look at.

Then Seski imagination take over and Seski get to warm by campfire, chased by mountain lions and wolves, gaze on true blue of Crater water and cool in mist of super tall falls in gorge. Where does your imagination take you?

Then Seski wander down to river's edge (not live in van down by river). Big blue boats sit in water and friends from Hellgate Jetboats invite for ride. Seski nervous. Pine needles and dirt under Seski feet feel good, not feel same about cold, fast, deep water (Seski look at Crater water, not get in).

Seski get acclimated to blue boat and practice tying knots. That make Seski knotty (ROWR!).

Captain not watching so Seski sneak away with boat and feel need for speed. Captain not happy with Seski but Seski bigger than captain so everyone still friends.

Seski still laughing.

That only day one of adventure. More to come, maybe more photos of Seski being Seski.

ROWR!!!

Civil War

Seski not understand what Civil War about.  Seski not see war, only see everyone be civil (and some very happy people).  Seski get to see Corvallis and dance with Beaver and Duck.

Lots of orange colors remind Seski of Fall colors but weather too warm for this time of year.  Seski sweat!

Seski share video and photos later.  Have picture with Seski?  Please send to seski150@gmail.com to remember.

Wander Wine Country

Seski wander through Red Hills of Dundee to work off big turkey dinner (Seski think funny that Turkey get stuffed then Seski get stuffed).

Roads very crowded with people cars going to holiday events.  Seski wander to visit friend Alison and Alex at Sokol-Blosser and feel very cheery even in dark room with happy lights, friends and big glasses.

Too early for Seski to taste wine (give Seski funny feeling) but now have start of wine cellar (thank you Alison and Alex).    

Seski wonder what other wine should add to wine collection?  

OK to store wine under tree roots and hole in ground?  Seski friends give advice?Start to rain on Seski so wrap up in warm woolen blanket and head back for sleep.  Tomorrow big day for Seski...
