Seaside, Oregon: Where it never rains; it mists
Back in the hotel room in Seaside, Oregon, after an event at the Seaside Public Library. Seaside is on the Oregon coast, where we Oregonians walk the beach in head-to-toe polarfleece. It is raining here, though the locals keep insisting that this isn't rain, "it's mist". Beach Books (beachbooks37.com), Seaside's terrific independent local bookstore, sold books and I signed stock, so if you happen to be in Seaside and wanted an autographed copy of one of my books, this would prove a useful coincidence. Do go to this bookstore. They are nice. You will like them. Also, I am writing this while half-watching Our Nixon on CNN. Have you seen this? It is WAY scarier than any of my books.
