My Sisters, just watched This Changes Everything on Netflix. It’s a documentary about discrimination againt women in film & television. It so closely resembles our Reddit sub it’s just creepy. I encourage you to watch it if you can. It is what we need to do to make a change in the Trades.

Hello, my aunt has a bum hip and she may be coming for a visit. I would LOVE for her to see Portland through my eyes via bike.

I am looking for a front loading cargo bike with a seat inside for her. Electric assist would be helpful since I’ll be the one peddling away.

What are the odds of such a specialized request for rent in Portland? Anyone seen anything like this?

Check your spandex before you ride!

That stuff wears out and becomes see-through from the back. Then we can see your butt crack! (And additional details let’s not get into right now…)

Use the Buddy system on this one - you won’t be able to tell the integrity of your shorts unless you bend over in full daylight.

Save lives: Crack riding is a dangerous distraction!

It’s on! Be vigilant to yourself and your pets being itchy.

When it is hot and dry in the spring, we see an increase in fleas.

Their breeding ground is dry dirt and wood chips. Our chunka-squirl population is also contributing.

It’s going to rain next week, but it’s already happening.

EDIT: boogiewithasuitcase - is correct. The majority of the info on fleas is that they thrive in damp, shady areas.

My info is coming from a Veterinarian on Woodstock, that sees the majority of bad flea years when Portland has dry Springs. My guess is, our “dry” is other places moist.

If you’ve never had Matt’s bbq on Hawthorn - drop everything an go. Right. Now.

For those of you who have, how the heck do they get their ribs so juicy and succulent? Is that a brine? Overnight wet rub? What voodoo is specifically happening at Matt’s? It’s completely unique. I need to know.

There are grass-root efforts underway to plant milkweed to support dwindling monarch populations. posts like this. I’m just wondering if we can combine our causes for more exposure for both? What would it be called? How could we organize it? Can we have costumes?

...My neighbors have been power washing their driveway and sidewalk for two days now. I don’t know what I’ll do without that sound in my life.

Arg! I can’t find a decent Christmas playlist! I have Apple or Spotify. I want rock/alt rock/80’s only. Like Kinks, Ramones, Waitresses, Band Aid, Bowie with Bing, Wings, etc. I can’t find the magic combination of words to get it.

For those of you that have found yourselves with a bit more plywood than you may need at this time - I am happy to come and take some off your hands. DM if interested.

Call me old fashion, but I still like to use books to find great hikes! I am looking for an excellent book on hikes in and around Napa.

I’m not a local. I visit for Christmas most years with in-laws. I don’t know my way around at all. Hence, the book.

Thanks!
