Want to get a good flavor for our town? I used to dedicate this space to explaining the wonders of Portland, Oregon and pointing to articles that capture some of its glory. But honestly, it was a failure. Well, now a great burden has been lifted and I only have to point to Portlandia and nod knowingly. If I want to go far beyond the call of duty, I could try to rank the Portlandia episodes in order of greatest culture bearing, but really, any random episode is a fairly complete education. Start here: Adult hide-and-seek league.
It has been a couple of years that we have been living the mild-mannered lives of settled suburban consumers, but don't forget about our hair-raising trip around the world. *We* won't.
And then there are the pictures from the Harlan's trip around the Pacific.
Let's see, what else do we have in this random assortment of links? We have a Cookbook with our favorite recipes and restaurants, and a graph of the system temperatures. There is an intermediate Sudoku solver and an intermediate Monster Sudoku solver.
Julie has been pulling together a list of all the plants in our old garden, many of them Oregon natives.
