WOMEN’S HEALTHCARE, A PORTLAND STORY

August 1, 2024 by

Women’s healthcare is just another story if you’re not a woman, don’t know any women, if there are no women in your life? Does that sum things up for you, or does it sound far fetched? Everybody has women in their lives at some point. Just ask your mom, your grandma, your sister, your wife, […]

October 24, 2022 by

Taking advice is an art. So is giving advice. Can anyone giving advice no one wants to hear even listen? That’s a problem that needs work.

CITY TRASH FROM PORTLAND TO VANCOUVER

March 31, 2021 by

City trash comes with the territory. More people, more garbage, more clean up. Except the clean up part is lacking, and it’s not the first time. Take New York City trash for example. More people than Portland, which is bigger than Staten Island, but half the size of the other Burroughs. I moved to the […]

PERSONAL IDENTITY BASED ON SOCIAL MEDIA POST

July 19, 2019 by

Meeting new people who roll out their personal identity is a thrill when it works out. I’ve learned so much by listening. (No matter what people who know me say, I do listen, just not to them.)

Ready to listen to the other 6,999,999,999 scream out to be like you? Sorry, man, you’re breaking up. You wanna repeat that? ‘Cause […]

OREGON REST STOP GEORGE

September 5, 2015 by

Oregon Rest Stop Is The Best On The West Coast. No one stops at an Oregon rest stop just for the toilet. There’s so much more to do. Walk the dog in the dog yard, picnic tables, and a break from the people you’ve been cooped up with for hours is more important than the […]

NEW YORK CITY IN THE 70’s

August 31, 2015 by

When The Going Gets Freaky In New York City In The 70’s, Fly That Freak Flag If You’ve Got One. I found comparison pictures of before/after Detroit, with today looking worse for wear. At the same time New York City photographers started showing their city in the seventies. It’s called everything from gritty, to terrifying, […]
