If anybody cares, I now have a PeerTube channel!

It will just be random crap I find interesting in the Pacific Northwest.

My first exciting video is of the Amtrak Cascades arriving at Union Station! (Try not to swoon)

Lovely day in the PDX today.

This is the "Attitude of Gratitude" mural, at SE 10th and Division. (Do zoom in ... the hair is constructed of living plants.)

Some sketches from laurelhurst park today. Water soluble graphite on talens paper. #urbansketching #urbansketch #graphite #drawing #sketchbook #mastoart #portland #pdx #laurelhurst

Yeah baby! #Portland's hottest new burger joint just opened up at Lloyd Center. Stoopid Burger, a very successful food cart business, now has a great diner location right in the mall.

I ordered the Crazy Carl, and as soon as I could figure out how to actually get it into my mouth, it was phenomenal! The rest of the fam loved their order too…the chicken nuggets were a real hit.

Glad to see life returning to Lloyd Center!

Do any of my fellow #Portland (#PDX) #BikeTooter folk use #bike and #transit to get to Wilsonville from, say, downtown? Unsurprisingly there don't seem to be a lot of options to get that far.

Six months of darkness,
Desire for the Springtime
Knowing it’s soon gone

Starting tonight, #Portland revival cineastes, Academy plays Jim Jarmusch's "Down by Law", surprisingly feminist law school comedy "Legally Blonde", and ronin vs corrupt samurai system epic "Harikari" (1962). How has this cute lil Eastside theatre become THE most fun... https://academytheaterpdx.com/amy_movie/harakiri/

The sun will rise in #Portland #Oregon tomorrow. And it will set. And rise and set the day after, and the day after that, for more days than you or I will have the chance to watch. But this account will not be noting them all.

Let's all hope—and work—for a brighter future.
