WILLIE VLAUTIN SAVES LIVES

November 7, 2015 by

There’s no me, me, me with some guys and it’s a relief. They let their work speak for […]

WINNING THE PAIN GAME

October 31, 2015 by

Beat The Pain Game, Then The Withdrawal Game. One of the regulars came in today, though not on his cherried out Harley. Wet and cold is no way to ride a hog if you don’t have to. Said he’d been out a couple of weeks for shoulder surgery. Five places on his shoulder got opened […]

PORTLAND COLD CASE

October 31, 2015 by

When A Portland Walking Tour Turns The Corner And You See Portland Cold Case. People love Portland. You’ve probably heard it before.

MODERN OREGON FOR EVERYONE

TOM HANKS’ SPY TRAIN

October 26, 2015 by

The Bridge Of Spies Waits For Tom Hanks. Who doesn’t like a nice train ride. It’s a different view than the highway and you don’t have to drive. From a highway we even stop and watch trains as they pull a long line of cars. Trains unified America with that Golden Spike. You could travel […]

A LIKE FOR OREGON

October 22, 2015 by

What Brings You To A State Isn’t The Same As What Keeps You There. Take Oregon and New York for example. You stay around Portland for different reasons than people stick around NYC. Size is important. For hundreds of miles around Manhattan people won’t leave, never think of leaving, because of the island. “Oh, we […]
