The forecast is for several bouts of rain this week... I can only hope they bring rakes!
Also curious if we'll see a return of the hockey stick / leaf blower brigade, along with the wall of moms?
Meanwhile, just for scale; the protest site vs Portland
l
But Portland does have a few problems; in the last week, a visiting friend of a local sports reporter had is car jacked, while Ice Cube had to deal w/ a fire set on his tire!
Sen. Ron Wyden: "Oregonians don't want and don’t need a federal takeover of our state. My message to Donald Trump is this: stay the hell out of our city."
Looks like he based the whole thing on a Fox News montage that mixed in video from BLM protest. Dementia Don can't tell the difference and is probably pissed that his MedBed isn't working.
They say Portland is war-ravaged. As I sipped my iced pumpkin latte, strolling past historic Victorians and boutiques selling $300 clogs, I had to ask…
War-ravaged…by what? Gentrified minimalism and too many options for artisanal cheese?
On NW 23rd, the only thing in ruins is my willpower. I went in for toothpaste at Zupans and came out with a block of truffle cheddar, a ceramic soap dish made by someone named Sage, and a sense of calm I can only describe as “suburban witch chic.”
They say it’s chaos. But I see women in Eileen Fisher cardigans debating olive oil varieties. I see dogs, so many dogs, most of whom eat better than I do.
If there’s a battle here, it’s over parking. Or trying to leave Powell’s with only one book. And I couldn’t help but wonder…

I didn't have a reference nor a context for it, so it seemed like a plausible action. Keep Portland Weird.

Notwithstanding the wishy-washy statement on the morning news program, the administration just ordered the federalization of the National Guard.
This is absurd and completely detached from reality.

I wonder how much stock Trump's inner circle and family had in Pot stocks before he spouted off last night on the benefits to the elderly?
