Yep. The French settled that valley first, and the state park is at the settlement along the Willamette River. It's pronounced like the stuff you wash your hair with an long E sound at the end - shamPOOy. Barely 15 minutes from my house.

Another meetup of sorts. The OLive Commentariots, now the Oregon3000, are having a picnic at Champoeg Park Saturday June 8 noonish to dusk. No other details at the moment. Wish I could go but I already have another ukulele event scheduled here in Vegas. I was hoping to go to the one planned four ye...

Another meetup of sorts. The OLive Commentariots, now the Oregon3000, are having a picnic at Champoeg Park Saturday June 8 noonish to dusk. No other details at the moment. ETA: Parking is free that day, but I'd bring a $5 bill just in case we have been misinformed. BYOD food and drink. It's a public...

Almost a haiku there Mr V.

Cottages open
People walking the Circle
Lawnmowers mowing

Well, this confirms what Bill G. said about the HAM radio takeover by the right-wing extremists. Problem is those guys operate on 75 meters and I can't hear them until late in the evening. The ones I'm familiar with are using public GMRS, commercial 450, and amateur 440 because there is so much gea...

Yeaaaahup

It's a great big open secret. It's cheap and easy to make happen.

Here's another fake picture from The Bronx. The palm trees in the background, his candy stripe tie, and his big smile with weird teeth are the immediate give-aways. It's almost a fun puzzle page to find all the things that don't belong. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/881aad127cd3b72d9cb7e6ecb4...

Ours is always yellow. Covers everything for a couple weeks. Best to hit the wipers *without* water first.

In this day of clever AI I find myself hoping that is fake.

Your pain is palpable, Bill. :bighug: Thank you. This is a good creative space for me. She's always been my muse. I expected something, but I was wholly unprepared for the nothingness that followed her death. Every so often a spark of an idea turns into a blaze of thoughts impossible to resist. I a...

This is the longest stop I've ever experienced. I've stopped for a drink. I've stopped for a bite to eat. I've stopped in traffic. I've stopped in my tracks. I've stopped for the firetruck. I've stopped up, stopped in, and stopped by. I've stopped smoking, and then I've stopped stopping. I've stoppe...

The Rhythm of Life as revealed by my neighbors. I know it's Friday by the garbage trucks roaming the streets gorging themselves on all the things people no longer want. Clankity clank clunk clunk clank. I know it's Tuesday by the street sweeper hunting the curbs and weaving around the parked cars. S...

Caravan Palace asks the question "if you sing a verse, and then sing it again, is that reverse?"

Pour some coffee and enjoy some Klezmer Bop by Caravan Palace. Medium volume. Don't want to wake the neighbors.

Question: Does this mean a bridge can be lit with a choice of red, white, or blue, or are they required to light only in red AND white AND blue?

We're all still on the the right side of the dirt. Let's keep it up!

I like his flag plaque with all the squad emblems.

I am not going to ask the obvious question about her right arm. I'll just compliment her on her photo perfect posed left hand, and stop there.

He's either an idiot, or a true believer.

Or a bit of both.

Orca aka Killer Whales though they are not known for being aggressive towards people - that's kind of a myth.

For his next trick the man will attempt to touch a beach bull.

Oh, you know the typesetter was winking to himself when he did it.

"Oh dear, a one letter difference. How did that happen?"

Yesterday our weather forecast said rain. At dawn I'm looking at blue skies out the window. The forecast now says mostly sunny with a high of 60F. IOW sunglasses, long sleeves, and a jacket.

It's the outcome of a potential collab between Tesla and Tonka - a Tokla.

It sounds like congratulations are in order Jez! The Lake of Lakes is a beautiful state. You'll like it there.

Ultimately necrotizing fasciitis and sepsis led to Mrs' death.

I did not watch the video. I got to watch in real time in person up close. My best wishes to the man.
