Very disappointed in Gov Kate Brown's response to the huge surge in COVID19 cases. Here's the new "rule" - except that it makes so many exceptions that she might as well not have made it at all. Not to mention there is no enforcement, nor consequences for violations. Sigh...

It's raining pears.

There is an old pear tree behind my townhouse (commons property) and it never really produces much of anything.

Except for this year.

I am repeatedly startled by the crash as fruit falls.

About a week ago, I caught a rat scurrying off, holding one!

None of the residents use them, and I don't like pears.

I'm wondering if I should call the local gleaners and ask them if they'd like to get them.

You should click on this.

Seriously, you should!

Language Warning!

(But I love it!)

In my ongoing FB/Paypal sales fraud adventure:

Paypal says that if the seller does not respond to them, I will get a full purchase refund. Deadline is in 3 days.

Meanwhile, today the seller contacted me privately, and told me that IF I pay $20+ to ship it back to China, they will refund me only $5 of the $29.90 I paid.

I don't think I should respond. Each seller email is more bold in asserting their fraud. I need to let the clock play out and have Paypal refund me.

What do you think?

THE 'RONA RUNAROUND

Subtitle: Going in Circles.

A lighthearted ragtime ditty, trying to stay upbeat and positive (well, okay, not THAT kind of positive!) in these dystopian times.

(Constructive criticism here, and likes on Soundcloud, greatly appreciated.)

A screenshot from the Oregon voter info webpage emphasizes what Trump fears most: Oregon has one of the highest nationwide voter turnouts of any state.

We MUST get Vote-by-mail in all 50 states.

And we MUST get it done properly.

I challenge the remaining 47 states not doing so, to study the strategies and safeguards put in place by Oregon, to make this an equally valid, safe and easily accessible means of giving voice to our citizens.

Lots of Fauci interviews happening. After two months of being ignored, seems like he wants to get th word out there and save a few lives.

Funny how two months corresponds with Trump's sudden push to reopen the country, against expert medical advice.
