It makes this inhabitant of the worlds No. 1 Bike City jealous...

Is there just one or are there more around?

Anyone knows who designed it?

Too bad the prize was two seats at the Olympic Games where we watched a yak-driving competition, and there was only one team and one yak. I was disappointed, naturally, and Mr. Hamm was livid. Where does this stuff come from?

Just Another "I'm Moving to Portland" Post!

I can only image how many new members post the same types of questions, but I wanted to post my own in hopes of getting some quality feedback. Thanks so much for taking the time to read/help out.

My wife was just offered a job at PSU and we have 24 hours left to decide if Portland will be our new home! We really want to move to Portland--we've been a ton of times and know that it would be a great fit--but are a little scared of making the big move. We have a 15-month old dau
