The security guard that greeted me and went through my bag to check for weapons was very professional. When I was called to the window, the man assisting me was curt to the point of putting me on the defensive. He worded his questions in a way that made me feel like a criminal on trial. And when he was done he simply said, "that's all." And I felt dismissed. The process itself was not bad. But this clerk could have had a more pleasant personality. He could have smiled, greeted me kindly or even looked at me at some point during the process. He stared at his computer and wouldn't make eye contact with me. At one point he worded a question by saying, "if any of this info you have given is false, then you have committed perjury." I just felt like I was on trial.This is the only reason I did not give 5stars.

I was impressed how painless this process was. I hope the federal government will end the hiring freeze and FULLY staff each of the field offices so that the public can receive the service they need. I had called their toll-free number 1800-772-1213 and was on hold for over 5 hours. I stayed on the line even AFTER the field offices close at 4pm, and was pleasantly surprised when a rep answered the call at 7:30pm and got my appointment scheduled.

This morning the rain was especially torrential. And that means that the Terwilliger Curves are super nasty. One little hydroplane and that's about it. Anyway, so being stranded in the non-shoulder shoulder with cars honking, I'm shaking and scared. "9-1-1, are you okay?" Within five minutes, bright flashing lights are coming toward me. My savior. I have no idea what his name was, but he wore an ODOT reflective vest. He calmed me down, checked out my car, and slowly helped me get to a real and safe shoulder on the other side of the freeway. I was still jarred driving home, but I owe my continued safety to the really kind guy at ODOT.

The Show has been going on over 42 years now and proceeds go to fund inmates children to go to a two week summer camp with other kids whose parents are incarcerated. The inmates look forward to this every year and entry is $45.00 (they have to do a background check) and you get notification you are in about 1-2 months before the show. They provide you with an orange shirt which is your to keep, have a great raffle with some pretty cool prizes with some actuallybeing made by the inmates. They also feed you breakfast and lunch (pizza) as you are in there for the duration (about 8 hours). If into classic cars, worth looking into the most unique car show in the state.

I was told that the Capitol…read morebuilding was closed while under construction, but I could try to get a tour of the Supreme Court building instead. It's the oldest structure on the Mall, and looks great for its age. The experience did not disappoint! After going through security, I approached the beautiful staircase. Hanging glass sculptures of feathers went up each side, leading to glass wings on the third landing. I peeked into the law library and that's when the education began. Emily, the Lawyer/Librarian who gave me a most excellent behind the scenes tour, made it quite memorable. From the architecture to an intricately carved donated wooden chest, to the women and men making a difference in Oregon's politics, I learned so much. Seeing the handwritten notes inside the Courtroom drawers was a highlight. This visit absolutely made up for missing the tower tour at the Capital Building. I can go back when construction is finished.
