Memorial Day

This TV (2.2 in Portland) is running Final Approach.  Sci-Fi, but close to a war movie.  They're kind-of running something like Memorial Day.  Antenna TV (32.2) seems to be trying as well.  Otherwise, you have cable.


TC Guide Channel has something.  Charlie Wilsons War, and all you have to do is put up with the scrolling TV listings.  AMC also has some options, but History Channel?  Pawn Stars.

Car Crash on Holgate

Nice work Portland Police on handling this one.  It's only the second in a week, but I guess that's what happens when you live on a major Boulevard in Portland.

Mostly I'm just glad everyone (except the telephone pole) was okay.

If I had to drive past that every day I might want to hurt myself.  Or maybe others.

I really have to wonder who thought that is a motivational sign.

How far can you fall?

Neighborhoods

It's nice living in a decent neighborhood.  Just last night I witnessed a car collision where a young woman drove into the back of a large pickup.  I probably shouldn't say much more, but at least things seem to have worked out.

I do love my neighborhood though, because a bunch of people helped grab a broom and sweep up the plastic parts that were left in the intersection.  Even the Portland Police Officer seemed a little surprised.  (He seemed like a good guy, if anyone is wondering.)

At least nobody seemed to be hurt, and the kayaks looked like they could still float.
