Back in JC Again

After spending 8 great days on the beach at Seal Rock, we are in Junction City for a couple of days to get the window repair completed. Grocery prices are up and down compared to Kamloops, with chicken breasts about $4/kg, but fresh strawberries about the same as Kamloops (go figure). There is also no sales tax in this state. They do give deposit refunds on cans and bottles but instead of the good old BC bottle depots, there are state-of-the-art electronic return rooms at grocery stores, Walmarts, etc., where you feed them into slots in the wall. Haven't actually tried this yet; perhaps tomorrow while doing the laundry. Sometimes it's hard to deal with all this excitement, heh, heh...
