My wife and I just got back from our dragon boat practice down at River Place Marina. I should say the dragon boat/bird watching paddle. We saw at least one bald eagle and a flight of merganzer ducks. Also some herons who were reported to be "getting a bit friendly" up in the trees.
After practice the team had coffee and breakfast at theLittle River cafe where we all discussed what each of us were going to be doing the rest of the day. There is unfortunately a lawn mower in my

The past several weeks in Portland there's been so much happening that its difficult keeping up.
The Trailblazers traded for center Marcus Camby. Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and other black leaders were here talking about PPD (police) actions. There were protests in the streets. The Oregon BETC is under investigation. Mayor Adams is facing a second recall attempt. PGE wants to raise electrical rates by 7.4%. Jobs are down and taxes are up.

I thought I’d never see the day, but there it was in a full page ad in the Sunday Oregonian (and god knows how many other newspapers.) In huge and straightforward type are the printed words …
“Our Pledge To Toyota Drivers.”
It seems Toyota is getting serious. I gotta hand it to them, after months of perceived inactivity (and possible shushing of the

My husband and I and another friend of ours are all taking the leap of moving out of the Midwest and into Portland. I have only been there once, but that was all it took to know that I could definitely call this place home. We need a little guidance of the area however as far as neighborhoods, pricing, jobs, and any other fun and interesting facts that we may need to know before moving. I have done a good amount of research of the area, but it is always nice to get opinions and advice from pe

They’re not really very special worms, just everyday garden variety composting worms. Red Wigglers to be exact. At today’s prices, this should buy about 10 pounds of the little buggers. I’m not going fishing I’m buying them because Red Wiggler worms create the earth’s best natural fertilizer. Their poop is like gold if you’re into organic farming or gardening because worm

Most everyone in the room was a member and several of us were volunteers, which was the whole point of the meeting. Karrie and Hadley Pri
