Mary Ann Vecchio kneels by the body of a student, Jeffrey Miller, lying face down on the campus of Kent State University, Ohio on May 4, 1970, shot dead by the Ohio National Guard during a war protest.
After 55 years I fear that history is about to repeat itself...

Went biking along the trail next to Fanno Creek in Beaverton and saw a lot of beaver activity, including dams and several felled trees like this one.

Marched with the protest in Portland today. Very friendly and peaceful people, but pissed about what’s going on in DC.

Went biking along the Columbia River near Vancouver, WA yesterday and saw dozens of sea lions eating salmon. They were generally headed upstream. Lots of people fishing in boats and along the shore didn’t seem to bother them at all.

We have some daffodils that live along the side of the house where no one can see them. The sun warms the area and they bloom early. I figure we might as well enjoy them inside.

Nearly 1 in 10 people use the same 4 digit PIN. If you're using 1234 then you better change it. And if you are using one of the top 50 in this article, you might think about changing it, too...
