PDX or PORTLAND INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

Caught this one late morning from across the Columbia on the Vancouver side. I was taking my morning constitutional when what to my wondering eyes should appear, but a miniature roof top but no tiny reindeer. Lovely glittering sight though, eh?

Speaking of reindeer, I came across an old Harry Truman story in a book about language by Steven Pinker called The Stuff Of Thought. Or it should be a Bess Truman story. People asked her if she please couldn't get Harry to use the term fertilizer instead of referring to it as manure. She replied that she didn't know how she could do that. After all, she'd just finally gotten him to call the stuff manure.
