The Portland Orbit is nasty. Look who they choose to keep company with:

When I think about Lord Pound it takes me back in time. There was a different house and neighborhood and our dog Max, who I walked when I spotted most of these tags, has since passed away. The phot…

  I learned the word hoodwink from my tenth grade English teacher, Mr. Bobby Hand. He might take pride in knowing that. I always thought about it in that way politicians pull the wool over peo…

OH LORD!

One January morning walking around my SW neighborhood for reasons better left unsaid, I headed up the unfinished gravel road. There’s a rut so bad cars can’t pass through without risking axel damag…

These folks at the Portland Orbit are doing some amazing things:

https://portlandorbit.wordpress.com/2020/01/16/portland-skyline-theres-fine-lines-and-theres-tracing/

This post was inspired by the Pittsburgh Orbit, well, actually, the idea was straight up stolen from them. We only steal from the best. When I saw their tribute to Pittsburgh skyline art I was remi…

There are these moments when we are productive.

In the beginning the Turkey of St. Johns was created when the earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; as this was all that could be seen from the inside of the …

Signs, signs everywhere a sign!

I was diagnosed with “summeritus” by a clerk at a Dollar Store a few years back. It wasn’t a medical diagnosis but the word stuck with me. There was no time for explanation. This …

Step right up, read all about it:

https://portlandorbit.wordpress.com/2019/08/22/when-portland-almost-killed-beatlemania/

I caught the exhibit about The Beatles at the Oregon Historical Society. The displays weren’t specific to the Beatles’ visit to Portland on August 22, 1965 (54 years ago today!) when they performed…

Contemplate Mermaids if you don’t mind:

https://portlandorbit.wordpress.com/2019/08/07/taking-me-to-the-river-the-portlandia-mermaid-parade/

What makes someone consider the mermaid life? Dressing like a Mermaid? Participating in a Mermaid parade? These questions had been in my head since last year. After missing the 2018 parade, I neede…

I try to avoid this but it's the end of the month and I need a few more visits and views. Posts that have been popular lately include the piece about Evelyn Collins, The Phoenix Pharmacy and the Seaside Riots.

Oh my, have a look around:

  The obsession to collect hasn’t left me. It’s easier when I only need images. Otherwise storage would be an issue. Bulky garage doors are impossible to drag home. This topic, inspired by the…

There was a time in my life when I could get excited about an oddly decorated mailbox. I still muster some enthusiasm but that’s a post for another time. Moving from North Portland to SW all…

Prince’s death shocked the world and inspired the Portland Orbit to look for a way to honor him. Tonight a pedalpalooza ride will celebrate his legacy. We have to live with a diminishing output of …

What a mangled mess. Talk about something that needed revisions. That thing was looking like one of my Freshman term paper compositions written on a typewriter. I managed to fix most of it.
