OREGON COVER-UP REVEALED IN GEORGE ROGERS PARK

The Oregon cover-up starts with scale for the new folks in town looking to show how backward we are, and how desperately we need help. Leader: We have our marching orders and we are assembled here to learn more about the problems these people get wrong. It would behoove you to pay attention. The lesson […]

PARIS OREGON IF YOU SQUINT HARD ENOUGH

Paris, Oregon is located on SW Ankeny Alley in Portland. All it needs are three times as many outdoor tables and chairs and wait staff with the navigational skills to swing trays of food and drinks between them without dumping on anyone’s head. It would work better with a wider road and more foot traffic, […]

IS POLLYANNA PORTLAND STILL AROUND?

Yes, the other Portland, Pollyanna Portland, is still around. People either find their way there, or never left. They all get caught up in some kind of Portland mystery. The big question is ‘What’s the big deal about Portland.’

PORTLAND INSURGENTS ON THE MOVE

Portland insurgents need careful constant monitoring. They are as unpredictable in their actions as a local weather forecast. One minute everything is nice and peaceful, then they unleash more hell than the battles in Gladiator. Their weapons of choice are either beak, or wing. Once they get close enough to strike, it’s too late for […]

OREGON EMPATHY IN THE WILD WEST

Oregon empathy is all we’re asking for from our border states and beyond. Try and feel what it’s like to be in our shoes. We’re trying to stand up to the harsh words and divisive actions aimed directly at our way of life, but for how long? How many more pumpkins must go to rot […]

GOLDEN RULE REMINDER WITH A NEW SHINE

The Golden Rule applies to one and all, even the new people with no skin in the game. A new iteration came across my screen with, ‘You may have the right to do something, but is it the right thing to do?’ Treating others with fairness and dignity according to the law of the land […]

MEET THE NEW BOSS, SAME AS THE OLD BOSS

The new boss comes in to change things, to do what the old boss couldn’t do. Whether it’s changing the order of operations, the culture, or cutting expenses, it’s a job someone has to do. If you’ve worked in a place during the transition from the old ways to new, you know what happens: People […]

THE PAPER CEILING FIRE

You’ve heard of the ‘paper ceiling?’ No? Now you have. “Millions of workers with in-demand skills and experience, overlooked for higher-wage jobs because they don’t have a bachelor’s degree.” They don’t have a bachelor’s degree? Like that’s the ticket for a good life?

STEP UP, STEP OUT, SOONER THAN LATER

Step up to the standard of steps, which from most voices is around ten thousand a day. 10K? How can that be? Where does that happen? This is one example of how and where it might.

TRY ME? EVERY FATHER’S HOPE

“I’ve got three boys,” a former football star said. “I’ve got to stay in shape because they’re going to try me.” Try me? Do we all know what that means? Probably not if you didn’t try your Dad. But you did. Right? You did? How did that work out for you? How does it ever […]
