What's wrong with this picture?

I know you might think the oddity is that there is a fish swimming down the highway. I gleaned this picture via my friend Becki's comment on a picture posted on facebook by one of her friends in Oregon January 20 during their torrential rains. You literary folks can have fun with that sentence. Well that's not the strange thing I want to talk about. It's February and Georgia and I are in the Midwest. If you've followed this blog, you will know that it was started in January 2008 as we set out for our first ever trip to the Pacific Northwest; Corvallis, Oregon to be exact. Since that time, each year, we have spent February and part of March helping out and seeing the sights at and around Oregon State University. Many of the posts on this blog describe the amazing sights, people, and eating establishments we encountered either on our way to and from OSU or during our stints there. This summer after I had regained function of my right leg following knee replacement, I checked in to see what was up at OSU to find that they had hired their second radiologist and would no longer require my services. Although we were happy for them in this quest for acquiring perminant faculty, we were saddened that our fairy tale had come to an end.
We developed good relationships with Dave who manages the Corvallis Depot Suites where we stayed in Corvallis, Sherry and Juli who handled the fiscal issues at OSU, Dr. Cebra, who afforded us the opportunity, the IT folks who put up with my loss of memory and other inane requests. Too many faculty and staff members at vetmed to mention made us feel at home in their shop, especially those in imaging as well as 5 classes of graduate OSU veterinarians. This included renewing relationships with several former Illinois veterinarians who are/were at OSU.  In addition we made neet contacts with the folks at New Morning Bakery, Cirello's Pizza, the Lodge at Suttle Lake, and the couple in that cute little house along the track in Corvallis. (Seems her name may be Laura???
Although we hope to visit again, "just for fun", we're also hopeful that both of the Radiologists at OSU will be invited to give papers at the same time at some international conference, so we can be invited to fill in.
However, Dave; feel free to consider the stuff we left in your Speeder Shed as your own. Also, I hope the benches by the door remind you of us each time you lay something on them so you can lock or unlock the door.  Dr. Steiger, consider the teaching material on the web site as your own.
Our biggest lament is that we never got to see the Painted Hills of Eastern Oregon. http://paintedhillsvacation.com/  We came so close on our last trip, but had to make a quick trip and felt it was not feasible to swing by there. I'm sure there are other equally wonderful places we've missed, but we really got to see a lot of them. We thank all the folks in the Corvallis area as well as those along the way for some fantastic experiences, and for making us feel at home. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!!
