Ghost Town

Cue histrionic panic in the Cascadia. Looks like some of my St. Johns neighbors have already begun the looting. Beat the megaquake rush, I guess they're thinking. http://www.opb.org/news/series/unprepared/oregon-coast-california-earthquakes-cascadia-subduction-zone/

When #AustinTheBeagle roots, he roots for the Timbers! (Fundraiser for Cascade Beagle Rescue) https://www.gogophotocontest.com/cascadebeaglerescue/entries/62662

#AustinTheBeagle has been on The G+ Dog Park for a very long time. I hope this post isn't inappropriate, but he is trying to fundraise to rescue beagles who are not as lucky and and loved as he is. Also, he is somewhat vain (aren't all beagles?) and wants to be the hot fireman (or, at least, the hot soccer fan) hanging on someone's wall. So he's trying to get onto Cascade Beagle Rescue's 2017 calendar. This is one of his two pictures. The other one shows him on the beach. If you would like to vote for either hot #AustinTheBeagle picture, there's a very small donation. This is one option available, but there are plenty of ways to rescue these dogs who give so much while asking almost nothing. https://www.gogophotocontest.com/cascadebeaglerescue/entries/62662#.V96ytAAu728.facebook
