I’m back home now. My trip to Portland was a working trip, but the evenings were my own. I know I missed some things like blog posts, but I did what I could under the circumstances.
I have no idea why the post about Portland Walking Tours posted twice. Could be dodgy hotel wifi, or maybe a ghost followed me home. I am loath to delete one of them, because both got comments and likes. Don’t want anyone to think I don’t appreciate them.
If I have a ghost, it’s a girl, cause that’s the way I want it.
Tour guide Tyler found one of the posts and commented. That was super cool, and so was the link to the ghostly vortex that appeared in one of the parking lots. This; unfortunately, wasn’t on my tour, but it’s cool. I never got actual confirmation as to whether I could share it, but since the link was provided I’m going to go ahead.

Honestly, if you get a chance to go one one of these tours, do it. I had a great time.
Today, I had the privilege of the DMV. My driver’s license is about to expire, so I renewed. I’m not going to go into all the fun involved, because we all have to go through it. It’s nice that Idaho offers an eight year renewal cycle if you pay extra. You can bet your paranormal vortex I did.
Old What’s Her Face went to Nevada to visit her brother today. Left to my own devices, I should probably write something. I’m going to work on Lisa Burton Radio projects, and get a few other things scheduled for next week.
I will spend some time reading, and may pull my novella out for the first editing pass. Then again, maybe I’ll spend some quality time with my X-Box. Hope the ghost girl likes video games.
Lucky you on the girl ghost. Al I get is toothless pirates. Maybe it’s the island thing. Have a great weekend.

That vortex is awesome! Also very cool that Tyler found your post and commented on it. I’ve got to go check it out.
As for the DMV, I have to say our process has gotten a lot smoother and much quicker over the last decades. Sometimes–dare I say?–it’s a breeze!

Wish we had an 8-year option. Although, I’ve never been in a state long enough to use it, so…
Maybe you can play Pumpkin Ball tonight. I know how the doggies love it.

Welcome back to you and hello to the ghost. Really freaky ghostly vortex. Does it lead anywhere?

There is a ghost that showed up. It’s a dead looking Marilyn Monroe. They did the research and a man wearing the same getup was killed in Florida. Theory is the vortex is a portal for ghosts, and now he haunts Portland. MM is one of the police reports that comes across the scanner on occasion.

Guess the dead Marilyn impersonator ghosts are too numerous in Florida and Los Angeles. Best to find a smaller market.

I’m sure Ghost Girls love video games 😛 I’m sure they like whatever it is the haunted like. Natural order and all.
I wondered what was up with that post, because I had to comment twice or something. I had to refresh or .. I dunno what happened on my end, but I’m glad it all worked out.
Enjoy your weekend!

I’m kinda glad I don’t have a ghost. Well, one that I know of. If I did, I cannot decide if I would a male or female. I DO know that if I had one, I would want them to accompany me to the DMV.
