Side-effect: I just realized that you can say "Texass!" in the exact same tone, cadence, and rhythm in which Seinfeld used to say "Newman!" http://trailblazersblog.dallasnews.com/2015/03/ag-paxton-files-suit-against-feds-for-giving-same-sex-spouses-family-leave.html/

Preparing for a little hike on a beautiful day in the PNW. But water bottles and their caps are the new odd socks.

...and, of course, any newly-discovered culture in Oregon implies the existence of an even older culture that called the newly-discovered culture "hipsters," and complained about them endlessly via petroglyph on the rock called The Oregonian. http://www.ktvb.com/story/news/local/regional/2015/03/06/eastern-oregon-dig-stone-tool/24505097/

GUY ON THE MAX: That's weird, man.

GUY ON THE MAX: That's weird, man. FRIEND OF GUY ON THE MAX: I KNOW , dude, it's weird. GUY ON THE MAX: I mean, it's really weird. FRIEND OF GUY ON THE MAX: Weird. I know. GUY ON THE MAX: Really freaking weird. FRIEND OF GUY ON THE MAX: So weird. GUY ON THE MAX: That's weird, man. FRIEND OF GUY ON THE MAX: I KNOW , dude, it's weird. (My wife Montana Hisel Cochran explained to me that they were discussing the fact that their transit passes were stamped with different times. Probably because they bought them a minute or two apart.)

Overall, I'm happy with our tech, but I just realized that it took rather longer to crank the Sonos to 9 when "It's the End of the World (As We Know It)" came on than it used to take to dive across the room at the stereo's volume button. But that might be #JustBecauseIAmOld.

I was just watching #austintthebeagle excitedly wag his tail and began to wonder how his evolution from the grey wolf led him to the point that wagging his tail is how he shows that he is happy/excited. I couldn't figure it out, at all. But, then, I thought about how we late-hominids show our happiness by smiling. But all of the other apes certainly do not mean that they are happy when they show their teeth. This realization is certainly going to change to way I interact with other hominids.

So. Many. Things. About. This. Story. So much understated bizarre.

So. Many. Things. About. This. Story. So much understated bizarre. 1) The headline mildly starts "Weird behavior," and then goes on to describe a naked man jumping over the seawall into the Willamette. 2) This "behavior" is similarly mildly described as "odd." 3) While we're on the subject, "Weird behavior" is punctuated as if it's a new regular category of stories in The O , like the police-scanner report in small towns. 4) Presented without comment: "The man had apparently been wearing something before he jumped over the railing: a backpack."  5) "Dispatchers had described the man as a 'possible shopper at Saturday Market.'" Because there are always naked people (well, naked people wearing backpacks) browsing Saturday Market.  6) Portland Police (the original Po-Po) apparently ran across the naked seawall-jumper entirely accidentally: "Police were called to the Waterfront Park area Saturday morning to i...
