Lucas and I just got back from a two day neuroscience conference in Eugene. Not the most exciting of conferences, but hey, the hospitals paid for the trip. AND it was a nice two day getaway. (granted eight hours of each day was stuck inside, but the evenings were nice)
Our first night at the Hilton, we noticed many police officers there. Now, this was a Monday night. I know it's a college town and all... but really, there were a lot of cops. Lucas then remembered that Bill Clinton was in Oregon (he actually spoke at the Tillamook Cheese Factory earlier that day). Then Lucas remembered again, that he was going to speak IN EUGENE Monday afternoon. Well, seeing that it was now Monday night... Lucas asked the cops why there were so many Eugene Police Officers (EPO) there... the cop replied "uh, a dignitary is staying here". Lucas said, "Bill Clinton?" the EPO grinned and said "maybe".
Then breakfast Tuesday morning, there was DEFINITELY secret service eating next to us. NO, we didn't actually see Bill... but I can now say we slept in a hotel together.
