Greetings from the Oregon Coast

I'm posting today from the Oregon Coast Cyber Cafe in Manzanita, Oregon, which, when I looked it up on my PDA, sounded like a cool place to have some vastly overpriced decaf coffee and listen to some piped in tunes while blogging. No offense, but it turns out to be a tiny little house behind a local grocery store converted into an office-like setting with some VFW-hall-like tables and some computers, and where you pay big ransom money for wireless time. To which I say . . . OK, deal! Because it's not easy to find a place to blog in these small Oregon towns. I've been camping with my family this week, which is one reason posting has been light, and this will have to do. The local library has wireless, but it doesn't open until noon, and also doesn't allow power cords for your lap
