Oregon. I lived in Astoria for about a decade, one year.I suspect Portland is different. But then I still need to face my first winter here. Mmmm, rain and darkness.
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
A very good friend of mine just moved to Portland. Eventually I need to visit there.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
Oh. Portland. Portland is where the cool went when it fled Seattle.
Before you Seattle Buffistas start ... pony up something better than Powell's Books.

Oh. Portland. Portland is where the cool went when it fled Seattle.We're quite cool but I like Seattle too.
I feel not good. Hope it wasn't the scallops since the cat snaked a few of those for herself.

"new Wire"
I'll be in my bunk.
People actually die falling off ladders?
Yup. More numerously than those in airplanes crashes. I lost my search term, but dimly remember the 2005 number as like 4K. The Homeland Security thing that has cropped up around liquids in flights is all about fear.

Yeah. And Karl Rove's desire to not have a day job, but you did not hear that from me.

Wait. Somebody is paying Karl Rove?
They ain't no justice.

More people were killed falling off ladders in 2005 than there had been by all terrorist attacks in the history of the United States.
Or to quote - er - me: a Terrible Cowardice
We need to break the frenzy of fear and bloodlust that makes people willing to give up any liberty, to commit any atrocity if Daddy will just save them. The sane people of American need take a new pledge – a pledge against cowards and cowardice. A pledge that their fear of terrorism is not so great they will sacrifice their liberties, their judgment, their sacred honor to stop it. A pledge that fear of terrorism will not cause them to support the continued destruction of Iraq or the terror bombing of Lebanon, or new wars on Iran or Syria. A pledge that they understand that 911 did not change everything – that the laws of physics were not repealed, that bluster was not magically transformed into bravery, that our memorial to the murder of 3,000 people was not to say “evil be thou my good”.
