A week or two back, I downloaded the Lime app (for Lime brand e-scooter rental) because I was worried about being late somewhere. Turned out I didn't need it then, but I kept the app. Last like, Monday I think it was, I got my first ride on one.

Went to the Undersized Renaissance Faire in Milwaukie today to help Victor with his booth. Despite the day being a slow one, he got a couple sales. We think it's so slow because of those horrible neo-Nazi fascist "proud boys" demonstrating downtown, so a lot of people are staying home, even though Milwaukie is far south of downtown ( Read more... )

Was originally going to go to where the Springwater Corridor continues along the river, even though I've been that way before and it was a bit dull. But when I got to 17th, I changed my mind and went down along ( Read more... )

It was a very blustery day yesterday (Sunday), very much so. Power went out in many areas of the city, some streetlights were out1 even in areas that otherwise had power, and on my way to where I was going, the bus had to take a detour because a tree the size of a small house fell onto 39th, blocking traffic. Luckily nothing was under it when it ( Read more... )
