Sorry, but the city is completely filled now by the summer bums from afar thinking this a warm sunny paradise. I can't wait for the rain and gloom to start again for 8 months making it easy to go to all those nice places again.

People may not know of our long standing tradition, of welcoming visitors, and then telling them to go home.

McCall[One of Oregon's former governors] is well known for a comment he made in a Jan. 12, 1971, interview with CBS News' Terry Drinkwater, in which he said:
“Come visit us again and again. This is a state of excitement. But for heaven's sake, don't come here to live".​

Sorry, but the city is completely filled now by the summer bums from afar...

In the olden days, they used to be only found downtown. I live 8 miles from the city center, and now they come up to me, while underneath my car changing my oil, and ask me for spare change. It's quite annoying.

ps. I could go on all day about this...

That's too bad. The city is so much fun when the summer lights are off.

I'm looking forward to another winter of good Portland drivers.

Obviously from the NW section of downtown, which has been flooded with immigrants from California, with more car insurance than they know what to do with.

The following is a video filmed from very near to where I used to work. The videographer is the brother of someone I worked with.

Zero accidents. Obviously the NATIVE Portlanders, knew enough to stand still, waiting patiently, while southerly drivers got back to safety.

I would only want to be where my husband is.

Another reason not to live in Portland are the dealers. Some are right out in front of kids dealing illegal products.

I was at the store today with the wife and this is what I saw. (innocent until proven guilty)

Car with the hatch open and someone just standing by the parked car.

Woman looks at her supply for a possible buy.

A story from the 'other' Portlandia, this would never happen in the 'real' Portlandia..

http://www.pressherald.com/2015/09/...in-on-controversy-over-bras-at-portland-jail/

“The policy is real clear, no weapons and contraband. It doesn’t say anything about underwire bras,” Joyce said on Monday.

http://www.fox5ny.com/news/24083463-story

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — A sheriff in Maine has apologized to a pair of female lawyers who were told they needed to take off their underwire bras at jail to avoid setting off the metal detector if they wanted to talk to their incarcerated clients.

Warning!
To all other communities, thinking about legalizing marijuana:

Man wanted for stealing $80,000 in medical supplies from porch
...
The package contained 40 neuro coils [I googled "neuro coils" and um... go ahead and google it.]
...
Deputies say the suspect is a man in his 40s, standing about 5-foot 11-inches, weighing 15 pounds and driving a dark-colored hatchback.

If you have any information, call Happy Valley Police.

We may have made a mistake...

2 hours after it was pointed out to the TV station, that the man weighed only 15 lbs, they still haven't fixed it.
As many of my right wing friends and relatives predicted, Portlandia, has collapsed, into chaos...

Collapsed, that's hard to do when it's already in a black hole singularity.

Great, now the tribe with the largest Casino in the state owns this property only a few miles from my house. It's an eyesore now so I guess another casino would be better than the zombie-land it is now.

Meanwhile, in the greater outskirts of the suburbs of Portlandia...

Accused bike thief lassoed by man on horse...

There still be wild west out here.

Some of the 'horses' are on the side of the road.

Fairview police stopped a 2014 Dodge Charger driven by Eduardo Canseco, 24, on Marine Drive, Alexander said, and a 2016 Ford Focus driven by Oliver Reyes-Zaragoz, 24, was pulled over a short time later.

Meanwhile, deputies learned that the other Charger, a 2007 model driven by Carlos Joshua De Jesus, failed to negotiate a turn, went airborne and rolled over, Alexander said. The car tumbled over a guardrail and crashed down the side of an embankment, leaving vehicle parts -- including the engine -- scattered along Crown Point Highway.

That little stretch of road is famous for being a drag-strip. I've tested a few engine rebuilds there myself.

Just discovered this lady a few days ago on my Christian Science Monitor Facebook feed:

How To Tell When You Need Brain Surgery
--- Murr Brewster​

The article I initially read, was about knitting.
My mom taught me how to knit when I was about 5, but I've since forgotten the art.

Although she is originally from Virginia, I'm pretty sure, she is "one of us".

There will be no summer this year.

Portland used to be so great. But not anymore. Everything has changed. Or else what used to seem romantic now just seems dumb. If you were looking for that one thing to push you over the edge and back to your hometown, well, here are 13.
