It was a strange to hear carolers singing Christmas carols while fake snow blew around in what seemed like 100 degree heat in the Qwest Field parking lot on July 4.
Yes, I woke up this morning to no Internet at home. I spent a half-hour trouble-shooting to no avail. I called Verizon. They told me they haven't had any trouble calls in my area.
I'm back from a 4-day getaway to La Push. I need to get my fix of the ocean. I've lived most of my life near the ocean, Honolulu, San Diego, Los Angeles, the Florida east coast.
I drove to Portland today and, boy is it hot here. It was interesting feeling the temperature rise and I headed south on I-5. I think it was 59 when I left Anacortes at around 10am. By the time my wife and I crossed the Columbia River and drove into Portland it was 87. And that was the official high temp today at Portland Airport, which you may know is located right along a river.
