Footware? No. Footwear. Anyroad, on the way back we stopped at Albertsons to pick up some essentials and there was turkey bowling in full swing.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m sure I don&#8217;t need to elaborate as everyone&#8217;s certainly au fait with the minutiae of the sport, but just in case&#8230; It was basically a way of collecting phone numbers and trying to get people to sign up for banking. Imagine <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Skittles_(sport)#Somerset\">skittles<\/a> but instead of a ball, a frozen turkey (in a plastic bag), instead of 9 pins, 10, and instead of a skittle alley in some frozen outpost of a local pub, you&#8217;ve got a supermarket aisle with rolls of kitchen towels as buffers. I got 2 strikes and 1 gutterball (Butterball?) and won nothing but did better than the old couple before me who risked their health and well-being for an Albertsons T-Shirt. I&#8217;d left me camera in the car I&#8217;m afraid so no pictures&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Last night I was coerced into attending a Project Runway Party. Couple of points. A runway in the US is more likely to mean a catwalk than a landing strip. And Project Runway is an American programme in its 4th season or so where designers are deprived of sleep for a few weeks and then bullied by a bunch of European fashionistas into designing and making clothes in some pseudo-darwinian battle of who can sew the fastest. I can usually stomach about 10 minutes. Anyroad, last night some colleagues of DrSita organised this party. Everyone was split up into teams of 2 and then sent off to the <a href=\"https:\/\/agaveweb.com\/blog\/2008\/08\/17\/goodwill-outlet-store-portland\/\">charity shop<\/a> to buy 5 dollars&#8217; worth of materials then put together an outfit themed &#8220;Presidential Inauguration 2008&#8221; in 20 minutes. I refused point blank to take part. Or be a judge. But found a nice little dive bar near the house while everyone shopped. Yeah, I&#8217;m an <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wiktionary.org\/wiki\/aguafiestas\">aguafiestas<\/a>, but that&#8217;s how I roll. I don&#8217;t do dressing up or public speaking. It says as much on my CV. In true Portland style, everyone won.<\/p>\n<p>This morning it were gorgeous, fog slowly lifting, heavy dew, a nip in the air. So I took a few pictures and am quite please with this one which&#8217;ll probably be tomorrow&#8217;s post for me <a href=\"https:\/\/agaveweb.com\/photos\/\">photoblog<\/a>.
