I love Tram

Side note that I wont really get into: Why doesnt karma work on MY time schedule? I want vengeance and I want it NOW!

Moving on: Yesterday I went to the doctor. Since we live downtown, I figure that having my doctor conveniently close and in a gigantic hospital can only be good. So, I picked a doctor at OHSU. And yesterday, on my way to my appointment, I realized that having my doctor at OHSU also gives me an excellent excuse to ride the aerial tram! Things that were (pleasantly) surprising about our tram ride:

Pancho didnt require much convincing. I asked him with a big smile if we could ride it and he simply agreed. (I should mention that the fact that he came with me to begin with was extra-super-awesome.)

If you are a patient or have an appointment at the hospital, the tram ride is free for you and anyone accompanying you. They simply look up your name in the computer, and give you a free ticket!

The ride is incredibly smooth and the little bubble-shaped car is surprisingly stable. This is good news for people who, like me, HATE when other people "rock" shit. Like the Ferris Wheel car, the ski-lift, the "boat", etc. You know who you are.

The trip to the top of the hill takes only 3 minutes and it doesnt seem as high as it looks from the ground. Somehow.

On the trip down from the hill, after you pass over the arm-like-pillar that holds the cables up, you dip down kinda fast giving you that super sweet roller-coaster-stomach-thing.

I am actually looking forward to my next visit. So, I change my mind about the tram because it will keep easily amused people like me eager to get their check-ups, to see their doctor regularly, and perhaps living a little healthier because of it. Thanks, tram. Maybe that $57 million was worth it after all.



Know whats not feeling worth it lately? The Blazers. They sucked last night. But it was cool to see Rasheed again. He seems much happier in Detroit. After the game he shook Paul Allens hand and I told my mom, "Thats the 'Thanks for trading me away to Detroit, it was the best thing that ever happened to me' hand shake."

My tummy is pissed about that Safeway sushi I just ate. Listen to your good sense kids, just say no.
