10 photos from our Ashland anniversary trip

1. Cut-out decoration of a German man, Ashland Elks Lodge Oktoberfest.

Where in god's name do you even FIND something like this?

2. Contemplative statue, Lithia Park.

"Shit. I think I left the curling iron on."

3. The railroad tracks at the east end of town.

Not pictured: drifters

4. Rand gets artistic, near the Peerless Hotel.

I think I was looking at some sort of feral child.

5. Vending machine magic: a pack of M&Ms had gotten stuck earlier, meaning that we got two for the price of one.

This marks the only good thing about our stay at the Plaza.

6. Tropical vignette. I get waaay too excited about the colored pencils placed at the table at an Ashland restaurant. Rand claims they are for children. I tell him to shut up.

7. Imposing sign, Jacksonville.

Sweet jesus, like I don't think about this all the time, anyway.

8. Dusty pathway near Emigrant Lake.

By day, gorgeous. By night? A little too Blair-witchy.

9. God BLSAVE America sign, near Applegate, OR.

What a bunch of BLMORONS.

10. Rand and I smooching in Lithia Park.

Yes, yes, "Gag, barf, ew, gross." Shut the hell up. I like him.
