I think Spiny Norman was visiting Eugene today. "Dinsdale?"

Eugene has a continuing churn of guerilla art. Recently someone has distributed a bunch of eyes along the Ridgeline Trail.

Yes, the Ridgeline Trail really did look like this earlier today.

Trump says data center opponents face ‘poverty, crime and squalor’

Presumably he’ll be leasing out part of Mar-A-Lago for a data center then.

Trump tells Fed to slash rates or he’ll end trade with countries with U.S. surpluses

What a fucking moron. The only good thing about this is that the resulting economic carnage at home will turn more of his previous dupes against the administration.

We need to elect a strong Democratic majority to Congress this year. We need to impeach & convict Trump. We need to bury Trumpism with a stake through its idiotic heart.

Another rainy morning in Oregon.

Just a peaceful sight from a recent walk. I like the way that focusing only on the reflection made for a more dreamy scene.

Why gasoline-powered leaf blowers are still legal in this crunchy granola town I’ll never know.

I’m basically a peaceable guy, but it’s hard to remember that when the back neighbors are using a gasoline-powered leaf blower to clear the fir needles off their deck. A broom would be just as fast, much quieter, and not put exhaust fumes in the air.
