Ghost Town

For the experience of being in every apocalyptic movie ever made, the scene where society has just broken down and everyone is looting the grocery stores, head over to WinCo in Tigard on a Sunday.

It was kind of a carnival atmosphere at the Sellwood Bridge Move.  Everyone was taking pictures. People had buttons that read, "I've Been Moved - Sellwood Bridge - January 19, 2012." Some girls in princess crowns were having a Bridge Impersonation Contest.

South Park Blocks.

Look at that fog! Am I in Portland or London?

So, anyone hip to the best place/time to watch the Sellwood Bridge move?

I do not think the word "blizzard" means what Portlanders think it means.

The SW Hills, disappearing into the clouds, earlier today.

Things I Learn From Facebook: Just reporting a school shooting that actually happened is a crazy liberal anti-gun-nut socialist fascist Nazi action. The fact that FB is the way I stay in touch with a number of people I knew when I lived in Texas is simultaneously the only reason I keep my account open and the number-one reason arguing in favor of closing my account.

"Fugitives and Refugees" forever! (We ate at Santeria, the Mexican food restaurant next door to Mary's the day before McAfee showed up. If you need to use the restroom while eating at Santeria, you have to walk through Mary's, which is about the most Portland thing I can think of right now.) http://www.byronbeck.com/home/1330-stardar-john-mcafee-spotted-at-portlands-marys-club.html#.UO7o0_OKDHc.twitter

Went over to the zoo and saw Lily this morning. ($4 Second Tuesday admission + $1.50 Transit Discount = only $2.50 to get in.)

I liked Windows 8 better when it was an experimental communications tool for chimpanzees.

Interesting. I was certainly under the impression that Council Crest was highest. However, there aren't as many opportunities for great views along Skyline. http://www.greetingsfromportlandia.com/where-is-the-highest-point-in-portland/
