Portland - last day 3 of us

We are mid heatwave now.  So all windows get shut when outside gets hotter than inside. Last night the kids had an ice cube in a flannel.  Rowan crunched. Esme rubbed.

Mobile went off at 4am this morning. Sarah needed proof of a flight home from the US before she could board at lhr. So she connected to trailfinders.co.uk to find what she needed with the ref I provided.   However it was just luck that the phone ring wasnt silenced. Such a random margin of error to determine if she mmade it back  at first time of asking!
Meet Loren. He is compulsorarily employed to dispense petrol.....sorry 'Gas'. New jersey and Portland legislate to ensure all stations have dispensing attendants. To create employment reduce non payment and I guess its a tax on capital to the benefit of labour ( assuming the oil company pays and not the franchisee). Its a 5000$ fine to me if I try and dispense myself
Local supermarket. A bit like the bread on supermarket shelves scene from The Hurt Locker in a way.
