I did. ❤️
Well, there’s Portland under the watchful eye of Mt. Hood. All’s quiet on the Western front.
President Administration is trying to convince the rest of the country that Portland, Oregon looks post-apocalyptic. He saw pictures of a riot there in 2020, and assumed the city was now burning.
All’s well. All’s peaceful.
I live about 90 South of Portland off I-5 in the beautiful Willamette Valley:
Thirty miles East of Portland you will find this:
The first time I saw that magnificent falls I was eight years old and had, only a few month before, moved from the flat land of Illinois to the mountains of Oregon. I was awestruck.
And yes, I have climbed to the bridge many times over the years. The last time it was with a half-sister I had never met but who called me from Portland and I drove up to meet her. When I found that we were both Biology majors I figured she liked the out of doors, so I suggested we drive the 30 miles to Multnomah Falls and have lunch at the lodge. After lunch and we climbed—walked—there is an easy path to the bridge where we had mist in our faces, and looked over the edge to the tumultuous water that flowed beneath us.
Portlanders are being saved from this:
And this:
Portland's Food Truck Pods
(Even Somebody Feed Phil's Phil Rosenthal, awed over the food there. )
Mr. President don't stir up trouble where there isn't any.
