During my morning constitutional something caught my eye outside this house, and I moved closer.
I found summer planning in process.
But why outside? And why propped up between a chair and the porch?
Hmmm. I wonder if it was serving as an awning for the plants below?
City life. So many unanswered questions.
Dire messages in whimsical fonts seems to be a feature of this decade.
Friend Kelly and I have been doing deep listening canvassing in House District 5. And today, Swing Left quoted me in their email promoting their canvassing effort:
Thank goodness I have done more canvassing since I wrote that. I would have felt mega guilty if I hadn’t.
After “walking” the Camino, I was ready to get this done.
As I predicted in my Camino post, it was a long time before I finished. Almost exactly two years. Which is much longer than I would have guessed.
I am, alas, not done walking. I don’t know if I missed one, or if it was added later, but I’m now “walking” to get the Via Transilvanica badge. It’s 870 miles (approximately 1.9M steps).
After that, I will have finished all of the Garmin Expedition badges.
It’s fun to see how people have changed up their Biden/Harris political signs in the wake of Biden bowing out.
This is the first one that I’ve seen reference the vice presidential pick.
A three-part commentary. One contingent in the city is going to be happy when Ted Wheeler is no longer mayor.
My favorite is the one with the bell hooks quote.
Can you call it vandalism when the bill should not have been posted on the post?
Hey look! It’s an old-school post, with a picture from when I was actually out and about!
This edit made me laugh. The bill is for a dating/matchmaking/speed dating service.
I found this not so lovely University of Oregon sticker on the back of a truck on a lovely autumn morning.
What did I find parked on a street near me during an early morning walk? Why it was a Mustang II.
My first car was a white 1974 Mustang II. I’ve spent the rest of my life explaining that no, it wasn’t a Mustang, it was a Mustang II. Not as cool, but a fun first car nonetheless. We could fit five teenagers in that car. It had an AM radio. That’s where I discovered “the memory station” playing hits from the 40s and early 50s.
Some Googling tells me that the average going rate for a Mustang II is about $20,000.
Most houses on Interstate Avenue are set back from the sidewalk, but there are two houses that bump up directly on the sidewalk. They are north of the gas station at Rosa Parks. One of them has been an arty-type place (gallery?) for some time. So someone made a funny.
Cambridge Dictionary defines autocollant as: an adhesive label or sign bearing a design, political message etc., for sticking on a car’s window etc.
This references of course, certain image of treachery.
