Ghost Town

All I'm saying is, if Facebook sends me a message that reads "Click HERE to administer an electric shock to teach word pairs to one of your friends," I'm going to run far away from that. That's all I'm saying. #Milgram #ShadesOf

Granted, the only Hobby Lobby I've ever been in was back in Amarillo, Texas, but it always struck me as a place where the clientele was 95% female. So, guys, you just successfully convinced the Supreme Court that almost your entire customer base are objects who cannot discern right from wrong on their own. Yeah, congratulations, and good luck with that business model.

Yesterday: Parklandia ride by the Art Museum and Know Your City and the Multnomah County Bike Fair. https://plus.google.com/103961050545011124941/stories/99186fdf-f146-3356-ae08-c04837c00326146e6cd1bb7/1

With this headline, I initially thought our neighbor to the north had gone from no gay marriage to mandatory gay marriage. http://www.kgw.com/news/Most-gay-Wash-couples-will-automatically-marry-265040031.html

When did fortune cookies become "advice cookies"?

Americans who don't understand how we can win, then draw, then lose and still advance certainly make the case for better math education in this country. And by better, I mean beyond less than/greater than. #WorldCup

4th Street, downtown Seattle. Sign reads, "Caution. Your activities are being videotaped." Woman stands on front of sign singing and dancing. Some people are not just okay with this over-surveilled world we live in, they are actually inspired by it.

OH on CNN: "The World Cup just feels really international, for some reason."

Seems obvious, no?

I heard that they might remake that 1991 movie The Gulf War again. They already remade it once. I don't need to see it again.

Pride in Powell's.

Friday the 13th, full moon, last day of school for the students. This should be interesting.

I know there are a couple of Oregonian reporters who post here and I'm sure they're nice people, but I'm just going to go ahead and say this anyway. I keep wondering if the post-apocalyptic O, like most post-apocalypses is a place where the living envy the dead. Because Oregonian reporters now have to spend so much time stirring the pot in the vile underworlds that are the Oregonian comments sections. I know I wouldn't want to be Virgil in that particular Inferno.

Red Sky at Night: Sailor's Delight. Good news, I guess, for all the sailors wandering around downtown this #PDX #FleetWeek..

Confirmed: OR7's a daddy. http://www.statesmanjournal.com/story/news/2014/06/04/wolf-pups-siskiyou-national-forest/9959115/

However we choose to travel, we need not be jerks to those who travel by a different mode. And that's all I'm gonna say about THAT.

I would pay a few bucks more for any magazine I subscribe to if each issue were guaranteed to not have this crap in it.
