Cover of fifth edition of Oregon Geographic Names. In the background there is white text on a blue background. The center has a white box with the title, author and publishing info in red and blue.

That cover is so much nicer than my 5th edition!

Watching a video of Seb Toots snowboarding down Mont Royal in Montreal.

At least they didn't criticize developers for only building "LUxuRy* COnDos!"

*That means it has a stainless steel fridge and maybe an in-unit W/D, but not air conditioning.

An episode I rewatched recently had the Mayor rerouting the marathon to make a rose shape. To get it done, he had topromise "no new condos" to 10 different neighborhood groups.

It really did/does reflect Portland no matter how much we say it doesn't!

This is why we need more/ better non-gendered insults!

Magazines need to allow you to delay notifications of a subscription because I already know my husband got me the magazine I asked for: the excellent @highcountrynews.org. (not mad at you HCN!!)

Ah, I see you too were at the Oregon Symphony with the Dandy Warhols show!

A screenshot of a Keep note that says: "I just dumped that fun fact on you! Sorry!"

Cleaning up some old notes on my phone.

How much of that is smaller gatherings as folks cancel travel plans due to the shutdown?

The best part of this is a small child saying "Merci, au revoir." The next generation is learning now!

It's also a Portland thing!

Oregon driver's license. It was only 5 years after Vermont changed the state drinking age to 21. So maybe a holdover from that?

When I went to grad school in Vermont, I could use my ID to drink at the bar, but not buy wine/beer at the grocery store!

A rubber stamp and print from the rubber stamp with the text "his is what I did while the computer was down." In purple ink.

If anyone did a craft project today while the internet was down, I have the stamp for you!

Don't forget the vihta!

Are we worse off or better off that he's not doing his job (staying up to date on issues.)

I said what I said.
Love, the pansies.

Taking your wife to get ice cream is resistance!

It's gonna fuck him up if he finds out we have a store called Mr. Plywood.

There's a doggie daycare in that zone! I understand the caution!

A large wheel of Rogue blue cheese.

I have a 5 pound wheel of Rogue blue in my fridge ready when my comrades call.

I was already boycotting them for removing the Spicy Anasazi Bean Burger from the menu.

@highcountrynews.org too!

I saw it at WinCo in Portland within the past few months.

A woman wearing a us space force uniform. The fit is very very bad. The Hem of the jacket is riding up. It looks like she's wearing men's pants on her hips, which means the crotch really is much too baggy.

There was an opportunity for something cool with the Space Force uniforms, but the fit was so bad that it distracted the eye from any other features (I like diagonal buttons). You think they would at least tailor the uniforms they put on the models!

Two versions of the Umpqua Bank logos. The first is very 1990s, angular and irregular. The second is the new logo. It is bubbly and symetrical.

The Umpqua Bank logo redesign got me all het up. Down with symmetrical bubbles, up with pointy irregular 1990s design!

We're so lucky to be raised with catalogs.

Someone on Reddit called a gay-owned, Mexican-owned taqueria near me "gentrification tacos" because their decor is nice, they have a funny instagram account. And the tacos cost more than $1.50.

Keep honking, I'm listening to the 1990 compilation CD: Now That's What I Call Music 17.

I saw The Pillage People playing at the Sherwood Farmers Market. Possibly a decent enough substitute.
