We explored Corvallis on our first night in Oregon and had our first independent meal in an independent cafe and brewhouse. I recommend Golden Glo. The second debate by presidential candidates was on the TV. Only the older folks were watching. Folks here generally seem to think that the selection on offer is a choice between two poor ones. One untried guy, who Chicago folk say has done nothing for them, and one rather elderly guy who's choice of running mate has alarmed them. We bought a book about Obama and left it with the Minneapolis friends. I think if you read about his fusion of Christianity and Islam, you would be alarmed. Have a worrying feeling he'll win though, because just like England before Blair, Americans want a change. They may get more than they bargained for.
I think it's bizarre seeing the Obama/Biden signs. Looks like someone's made an anagram of Osama Bin Laden.
Crater lake, the deepest in America. Really is as blue as this.

Ref Obama, I can't say I'm following it closely, but one of our friends here (an American) has said that Obama is a 'closet muslim'. And I was very interested that on Zanzibar (99% Muslim) the whole place was plastered with "Obama '08" stickers. A bad sign?
