ALTERNATIVE FACTS FROM B TO Y

What is the first face you see when you hear Alternative Facts? Colonel Jessup in cover-up mode? Probably not.

THANK A VETERAN, THEN BRACE YOURSELF

Everybody knows you can’t thank a veteran without a veteran story in return, so: I served in the medical community doing pre-physical work ups on my civil service patients in South Philadelphia.

LIFETIME MISTAKE TO CHANGE?

BLOG COACH STEPS UP

The blog coach call came from a man who needed help. Why call me? Because I’ve got a track record of thirty-two hundred posts on boomerpdx. Not thirty, not thirty-two, but thirty-two hundred blog posts. I’d call me too. But there’s more, so much more.

DRAG QUEEN STORY TIME CANCELLED IN TIGARD LIBRARY?

The drag queen story time is canceled in Tigard and I had to learn about it on twitter? Something’s gone wrong when drag queens out in the far reaches of Portland suburbs can’t fly under the radar.
