Random thoughts, pre-turkey
I'm feeling incoherent. But I have some things to share:- From the "only in Portland" file: Riding to work this morning, I passed a man peeing on the sidewalk downtown. The man was wearing a skirt.
- From the "shameless plug" file: This summer, our friends Little Becky Sunshine and Mr. Brilliant Computer Guy Jon moved from Seattle, a very reasonable place to live, to Toronto. (Toronto, CANADA. I believe Jon was elected prime minister or something, which is the only reason to justify leaving our land of apple pie, purple mountains majesty and Coors Light. OK, maybe not the ONLY reason.) LBS is writing about the experience -- and the culture shock -- at her blog. It's a lot funnier and wiser than ours, and you should check it out.
- From the "I'm not being political, just stating the obvious" file: Our president can't even pardon a turkey without Dick Cheney holding his hand.
On third thought, perhaps LBS and Jon have the right idea.

You need to change your route.
You think? I dunno. There are worse ways to start the day.
A, thank you very much for the kind and shameless plug. Though I must disagree that I am funnier or wiser -- that's just crazy talk. Colder and slightly drier, yes, but that's it.
And B, thank you for sharing the political news from my foresaken homeland. This was my favorite sentence: "Mr. Cheney, who has never been known as a lively campaigner, hung back in a corner of the stage and approached neither the turkey nor the children."
In Canada, all the turkeys get pardoned, right?
