Long-awaited PNW Meetup!!
I was only a lurker at the OLive comments during the Bundy trials, but they did bring me here to the Fogbow. If there's to be another PNW party, I'd love to join you. Mr. Dodgers, too.

Well, this confirms what Bill G. said about the HAM radio takeover by the right-wing extremists.

Long-awaited PNW Meetup!!
I agree with you about the homeless issue downtown, Bill. Duck Dodgers (my husband) and I haven't gone there to eat since before COVID, and most of those places have closed. Jake's Grill is still open at SW 10th and Alder, and is the closest place to PSU that has a pretty good menu and reputation. T...

I've never heard of mole fence before. What does it look like? After battling the gophers and moles for my tomatoes last year, I decided exposing their tunnels was effective but too much work, so this year I'm trying castor oil mixed with dish soap and water in a spray bottle. The smell is a powerfu...

Glad to hear you're making use of your late wife's good intentions to connect with the neighbors. It's nice that you have a neighboring houseful of engineering students to chat with. But, it's sunny and warmer now, and we haven't heard anything about the garden, aside from late winter tilling. If yo...

You make your own pierogis, Bill? DH and I just watched an episode of How It's Made about pierogis. Without the automation, it looks like a multi-person endeavor to do at home. Thank goodness for Mrs. T's.

That's scary, Bill. I'm glad you didn't sustain any injuries. I passed out without warning and for no apparent reason when I was in my twenties at the Saratoga Race Track. Doctors couldn't find a cause, and it hasn't happened since, but really puzzling. I'm glad you're having a long overdue family r...

That's a photo of Sally Struthers who used to appear in ads for animal abuse? starving children? or another vulnerable category deserving of our pity and cash.

"Ooooo - are you having of the thumb green, or a microclimate, or special dirt?" None of the above, though the manure was great fertilizer when I still had chickens. I know you know how to grow things because you've posted the evidence here, so I'm not sure why you didn't have better luck ...

"Outdoor grows don't have the same yield at least in Oregon. We don't have enough heat around here to grow the good stuff."

I guess they haven't heard of LEDs? If Minnesota is allowing 10 plants per ?household? an indoor grow won't take up much space and LEDs don't take much electricity. Since it's legal, they also don't need the added expense of constant filtered ventilation to avoid detection that an illegal grow requi...

That is such a nice story. Thanks for sharing. BTW, was that Stonehenge that you were on yesterday? Do you know why it's named that? Does the sun shine through it in a special way on the solstice? Inquiring minds want to know. It looks more like a Sasquatch to me.

In their favor, USPS introduced a package shipping plan called Ground Advantage that is supposed to compete with UPS and FedEx that is actually saving my Grange money for mailing our seed boxes compared with what we paid last year. Unfortunately, Ground Advantage also did away with the USPS supplied...

I just saw a report that they believe the door is located near 217 and Barnes Rd./ Cedar Mill or Cedar Hills in Portland, very close to my neighborhood. Maybe I should walk around the property to check.

I don't think he should be using the word "fumes" in the same sentence as "the Trump Administration." His fumes just went viral on X a few days ago.

Thanks for posting that, Neonzx. They're an interesting combination: Black, non-binary, living in Brooklyn and performing in Portuguese. I love learning about people with interesting backgrounds (as opposed to the kinds of people we are typically exposed to from mass media in the US.) Merry Christmas!
