August 15, 2013---Junction City, Oregon


We went to Cummins this morning to check on the parts for the motorhome.  The main part (the manifold) was coming from Europe.  They hope it will arrive tomorrow.  In the meantime, we are taking care of other business in the area.

Today, we spent some time with our friend, Sally.  She took us to see some of the new buildings at the University of Oregon.  Some of them were at the site of the football stadium.  Thanks to the guy from Nike, Phil Knight, facilities have been added at the football complex.  I did some shopping at the Duck Store while we were there.

Phil Knight, because of his generosity to the U of O, is called “Uncle Phil” in the Eugene area.  

Sally also took us to see the new basketball facility on the main campus.  It was also a gift from Phil Knight, in memory of his father.

You know that I have a rather strange sense of humor.  I see humor in things that may not be funny to others.  For instance, Phil Knight, who is a very rich man, is married to a woman named Penny.  Does anyone else find humor in that?

It was nice to spend time with Sally.  She has been a friend for many years.
