I parted ways with Oscar and even with a couple of big wheelie bags, it was a simple walk. Did I look that grumpy and mean? Advertisement No one ever asked me for money, a hand out, anything. Yes, there were a great deal amount of people that seemed to be living on the street, but my interaction with Oscar was the only interaction, words, communication I had with anyone of that demographic. I wanted to mention my interaction with the homeless at the beginning since that is what many hear about. We had an intelligent conversation, covered many topics, like conspiracy theories, Portland history, and that many people take the train from town to the airport not just to fly away, but also to do regular shopping. I think his name was Oscar, the homeless vet that chatted with me for 35 minutes of the journey. But the late night train ride was an experience as I met a couple of interesting characters and noticed several homeless people taking the ride with me. Landing at PDX, I bypassed all the traffic and the Uber app and took the Max Red Line as it looked like it had a couple different stops within blocks of my hotel.
