    I feel better today.   I have not yet snarled at anyone.  It is a beautiful day out there, sunny and overcast at the same time. I’m beginning to think this might be a norm for Portland. Tiny snippet of Kate 5: Some people made it hard to guess their profession by their looks. Jim looked…

    Thanks to David Boop our good friend for posting this link on his Facebook page. If you go to Gizmodo you can check out this vintage photo from the early 40′s with what appears to be a time traveler. You decide.

    One of our friends, Beatrix, had her car broken into.  She was away and some punks bashed it with iron pipes.  While I can’t do anything about the car, may be this will steal her away from her problems for a couple of minutes.  This was originally published in an anthology in UK, but we…
