http://www.oregonlive.com/weather/index.ssf/2014/02/portland_snow_traffic_fails_se.html No one apparently believes the weatherman here, too many calls of ‘wolf’. But today he got his comeuppance. Went out this a.m. to meet my niece Stephanie at my alma mater – a building new to me, with pictures of the past graduates lining the hall. She wanted me to see the picture which …

Cold
and dry. Portland I am told is in the grips of a dry spell! Who makes these statements up? It hasn’t rained for a few days in winter and it is a dry time?
Finally!
An Oregonian, this evening explained that a ‘growler is: http://beeradvocate.com/articles/384/ http://beergrowler.com/?gclid=CNrKwdnItLwCFaY1Qgodhy4AjA
Portland!
The downtown place: Broadway, Fifth Avenue, and all those tree-named streets and alphabetically named streets [on the ‘other side’ of Burnside]. During the weekdays, it is a city.

Give Credit.
Where credit is due. It has been 5 days with sunshine in the day! It is wonderful. This is a different place when you can see the landscape illuminated! Delights my soul. And not only is Mount Hood just right there, but a bit farther off is the expired volcano, Mount Saint Helens, which blew …
