I met a new friend today. Bill Goolsby, a friend of our friend Dabney, stopped by Astoria on his road trip. He is from Atlanta and he is riding his motorcycle. A long trip for sure. He stopped by the fort this afternoon and took in the sights there. Afterward we got together for dinner at the Fort George Brewery and had a very pleasant time of it. Today he is heading down the coast which should be pretty nice, if it doesn't rain too much. It is fun to meet new people with interesting things to talk about.
