Post Flesh Eating Post

Good thing we culled back those nasty humans from the neighborhood last night!

I Hate Everything You Represent!

If you remember the story of me sleep talking and shouting "I hate everything you represent" with Susan next to me... And Susan subsequently horse kicking me (which I then had to clarify that I was in a meeting with IBM!), then this one is for you.

If only these guys would sell the typewriters for which their sign so begs for customers to buy. I saw none in the shop of course. Just a bunch of office copy machines.

Portland Oregon Fall 2009 Photos

Well it has once again been a while since my last post. Main block has been I keep running up against maxing out my hard drive and finally backed up enough material to make a difference. It should carry me through the end of the year.

Anyway, we took some nice photos of some fall colors, friends and other items around town.

Here they are...

Portland OR Fall 2009

Mobile Domicile

On our walk the other day, we saw a rasta looking fellow building a contraption that was a work in progress.

Lo and behold, we saw the finished product today. Looks to be a pedal powered mobile domicile fully equipped with a solar cell (maybe to charge an iphone or such device).

Well here it is and quite impressed with the sheer ingenuity of the whole thing...

Some Oldies

We dug these out when Gina was here visiting.

This Is A First!

I was dreading going to jury duty on 9-11 but, low and behold, it was cancelled.

What are the odds??

Dose of Hugo

If anyone is in the market for a Hugo inspired bag, you should head on over to Gina's site.

Hugo looking a bit Gargoyle-ish...

This is an interesting doughnut shaped shot...

DIY Haircut

Well, I decided to save the cash for a haircut and whip out the Wahl Clippers. Clearly this is not a skill set that comes easily in this household.

Needless to say, I did not read this article before embarking on this endeavor.

Not looking too promising....

Yeash...

End results...

Considering my last haircut was only $10 (after tip!), I will most likely be returning and consider it money well spent.

First Yeti Sighting

Was lucky enough to catch him in action...

Walk Route 8-31-09

We got out of the house on an awesome day yesterday. We took the Hugo along for a great walk along the Eastbank Esplanade and West Waterfront Park.

Here is a map of the trek...


And here is a web album of sights we captured along the way (click to open and click for slideshow)...
