Drove up and visited Astoria, OR a few months ago and watching the cargo ships come in and out really makes you appreciate how long those people are away from their families. I used to work on the road when my girls were younger and it killed me to be gone a week. Driving home would just stretch out forever. Definitely wasn't any better place then home when I finally pulled in the drive.
