Sunny Saturday
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

Can we grow a Solar Forest?
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.

The "Toyota Way"
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

Spring in the Gardens of Rose Villa
First peas and onions planted My knees wet and muddy

Coffee cup warm in my hand

Finally, our big move... Looking for some guidance!
Our ideal living situation is farming-based, so an area with lots of open space and good soil is key. We'd like to be close enough to the city to conveniently commute via train or bike, but far enough away… Continue

Moving in May
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

The Worm has turned
My wife is going to kill me! I’m not sure she’ll understand or appreciate that I just spent $250 for some worms. 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

Ronnimac, Solar Ambassador
This morning I spent a few hours with a bunch of strangers at SOLAR OREGON headquarters in Portland. This meeting was called by Karrie Hamilton, SO Volunteer Coordinator, to pull together a group of people that have an interest in seeing more solar energy in Oregon. 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
