  3. So an Icebreaker owned by Shell was in Portland for some repairs in drydock. This is red meat for the protest culture here in puddletown. The icebreaker is headed to Alaska and the artic to help in the drilling. Last night 13 Greenpeace protesters hung from the only bridge out of town. They were going up & down on their lines. I addition there were kayaks in the river below This am about 9:00 am the ship went out and stopped just short of the bridge. Then turned around and went back to drydock. Shortly thereafter a judge in Alaska issued Greenpeace a fine of $2500/hour. Escalating (doubling) at regular intervals. Of course one of our Senators got on the radio blaming W for the artic drilling. Tonight the City mayor sent out a statement opposing drilling. He pretty much has to do this (considering the protest environment here) About 4:00 pm LE started in on the hangers. 2 of them elected to go down on their own after some tugging on their lines. the 3rd one had his line secured by LE and then cut. LE then lowered him down to a patrol boat. All 3 cuffed and stuffed. The 3 were in the center. Enough of a gap to get the ship through. Then the ship started out from drydock again. And the kayaktivists got engaged. There were probably 50-60 canoes & kayaks out. About 10-15 LE boats with a few personal motorcraft. The LE for the most part nudged the kayaks over to the side. arrested a few. Saw one (woman?) slap at LE in a boat w/her paddle. The big ship pulled up. Stopped then slowly moved through the chaos. I was impressed by the skill of the LE on the boats and watercraft. they were really manuervering well in a tight messy environment Of course the activists are having a party celebrating victory tonight

  14. Our dog will then lick up the remains. Of course that led to an ER visit as she lick up a bunch of rocks. That lodged in her tummy. The good news was she was fine...and the bill was less than our regular visit to our regular doggeh doctor. Which made us re evaluate and change Docs

  19. should be $00. Milton Friedman A friend of mine was on the news last night arguing for a local ballot measure for $15/hr. "More people have more money to spend. It's a win / win. Econ 101. If we value our workers then they deserve it" I about spit out my whiskey. And we met in Accounting class. She owns a biz in Portlandia. Everybody but the business owner has more money to spend. And pretty soon you all may be on the bricks. If we value our workers we would pay them a wage that values them regardless of the Min Wage. Why aren't you paying them more than the min???

    Uber or lyft?

    So with the variable pricing is it better to get signed up and request a ride early? Or wait? If i am one of ghe first in line is my price going to be lower than if i request it later? i think that leaving the event is going to be a bit busy
  22. now the fallout. More money more leisure time http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/07/22/seattle-sees-fallout-from-15-minimum-wage-as-other-cities-follow-suit/

    Uber or lyft?

    So I'm going to sign up for one of these. Uber seems to have all the headlines. Is there any competitive advantage to either one? Am I a 1%er for even thinking of using one?
  24. Whatever on the crunchy/smoove debate. But a PBJ must have mom's Strawberry jam. She is starting into alzheimers and hasn't made any for a few years. woScrapr has seen me get the shakes when we run low on the Strawberry jam. It's not pretty. We are down to the last 1 or 2 containers. If I shoot up the Post Office it won't be my fault
