Hello everyone, My folks and I are now in Portland, Oregon on the first leg of my vacation time with them for this very year. We actually started officially yesterday of getting ready to leave from Richland after doing small amount of thoughtful shopping and having my mother be able to spend some bonding time with my brother Michael. My step dad and I were headed back from Walmart when I will admit that I forgot my key to my front door, so he and I headed to my work place of Safeway and grabbed so breakfast stuff for this morning for when we got on the Amtrak train, while at Safeway I had them break my lock on my locker to get my spare house key. Then I threw away the keys to that old lock after I let us in, and returned my spare key to my work locker with a new lock on it. Then as moms do mine helped me pack my suit case for our venturous outing of fun. After that we ate dinner at Subway in Pasco before turning in their car rental and called our hotel for a pick up because of it being overly windy last night. When got ready to catch our train here to Portland I got a few pics at the Pasco train station. One my mom and one of a selfle of myself by the station's clock. Once we got on our Amtrak train we had a nice ride through Washington state, I went and got a few shots of us on the train before we began. Also a few near McNeely damn area and a few windmills before entering Vancouver Washington which I will admit I thought we were going for a while, apparently not though. As soon as we got to our hotel the courtyard Marriott on fifth Avenue and oak street in Portland I realized someone named me had made a very great mistake? What's the you are thinking and of course wanting to know of right? Well it turns out that when we were picking up our suitcases I had happen to have picked up one that was with my folks two thinking of course that it must be mine since it's with ours... it had the other owner's name on a bright yellow tag on it, so all three of us walked back to the Union train station and found out that they had been trying to contact us for the last forty minutes or so. With my own suitcase now we caught a metro rail train that has this
as it's all day boarding pass. We went a couple of blocks up from the train station to Oak and 5th and walked to our hotel which was on that very block. After that since still had a lot daylight left we went to go see what was around the whole area since we haven't been here since twenty twelve. We were very heavily saddened and also hurt to see almost a tent and a homeless people everywhere. We came to the ongoing conclusion that something had happen to people of Portland, Oregon... and not just because of the Covid-19 Pandemic either? It's likely for whatever reason all of their drive has been shattered in spite of their everyday experiences are, these people have lost their attention to continually hope at least it's the only accessible maybe answer that I saw as well as my folks with our own eyes. It very much reminded me of the reflection of the Star Trek Deep Space Nine two parter in season three titled "PAST TENSE". Here's a pic
from one of the two episodes of that name. It is pretty close to what we had seen as I said before except for it being in the state of Oregon instead of California. Then we went an realized that with the way the weather is here in Portland, Oregon overcast and windy that I went an forgot to grab one of my hoodies to keeping myself warm during times of besides it being to cool outside in California or even on the the rest of our times on the train before we come back to home in Richland, Washington. So took the free all day transit to Lloyd's center and walked to Ross and found nothing, then we went a few window displays of Forever 21 trying to find the way into the store, we finally did figure out where it was and we took the elevator to the second floor and started looking around on the rack of discounted men hoodies and shirts. It was then when Chuck found this really cool underground hoodie and said " I bet that they will be wondering at Adventures Underground where you got this?", I of course tried it on an it fits me perfectly. And I said " I am sure that it's not from them but it very cool in its design and they might be wanting one." And here's
what it looks like. I'm pretty sure that since we have one more full day here in Portland, we will be doing some very important searching of a certain bookstore?, that is if it is still around as well... Of course before I ever forget that today's the first day of May, I have to remember that each month I go and show you all my monthly wallpapers for when I go and trun on my tablet and phone that these are them from my tablet. When I was opening it through out the month of April twenty, twenty three I was seeing this
well disguise known as Autobots and Deceptions here's what was on my main screen when I got pass my locked screen. The leaders of both factions with their insignias glowing behind them. I call it "Gen one TRANSFORMERS LEADERS Splitscreen". Then since I am talking about my vacation of this year, I had this from a couple vacations ago was this mural
from Newport Oregon on my phone's lockscreen. An since last month had Easter in it for the month of April I had this set of pinjias seen here 
of my favorite comic character Spider-Man that I found at Walmart. That was from back in May of twenty, twenty two. As you also know I have to celebrate each new month with a new background plate of the site from the pervious one to and here's the latest one of
April, twenty, twenty three. So for sure you all know that my yearly six part history of "How WE KNOW of our universal understanding of our dear loving planet called EARTH. I do hope that if you are on vacation right now, that you are finding time to relax and get some much needed rest before your everyday life returns to working normally at wherever you do work?
