I post about maps, GIS, and environmental chemistry, and now there’s also a lot of energy and Portland posts, some microblogging. Coauthor on a paper on bird population modeling. Reviews everywhere: "She's too direct." Portland, OR
$190. It worked great for the big kitchenette-living room area of my 550 sqf apartment, compared to the small window unit I had before. I originally paid $550 for it.
Urban Sketchers Portland Sketchcrawl meetup this morning in the N Albina industrial area near the Fremont Bridge. I did this piece of a narrowleaf ash tree. #urbansketching #urbansketcherpdx #watercolor #treestudy
A piece I did at Breitenbush Hot Springs – an analogous color scheme study of an incense cedar between the middle pool and the meadow at twilight. #treestudy #analogouscolorscheme #breitenbushhotsprings #cedar

🎶 I’m proud to be an American, where I know I can have A/C… 🎵 Seriously, there should be no “cultural war” to getting A/C. Wild how this thread was even needed. A/C in summer, heat in winter. It’s efficient too! Glad my ancestors left England and Ireland, for many reasons!
I got this suggested video on YouTube. Maybe I'll watch it some time, but RIP Jude Law's hairline.
Found it! It was in the small upper drawer in my bedroom. “I’m going to put this somewhere safe so I don’t lose it when I sell the A/C unit,” kind of a deal here.
I actually made a pot of ziti because of this @ceej.online post. I ate ziti for dinner and now I have tons of leftover ziti. Incredible!
Working out be like: Me: “I would like some upper body strength and that so-called ‘exercise high.’ I will make a workout plan and stick to it as planned.” My body: “Best I can do is intense Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness and depression.”
Some Common Sneezeweed for the feed. #pdx #gardening #plants #summerflowers
Good afternoon from my deck garden! The showy milkweed plants are finally on their way and the yarrow is living its best life. #pdx #gardens #deckgarden
I would vote for any candidate running for any level of office for any party who would promise to ban these style of lights: www.lowes.com/pd/Project-S...
I just read the Rancho Gordo newsletter and Steve signed off with this photo of himself. Dude just look like he go revenge on someone and he's watching it happen from 30 feet away.🔥 😂
Absolutely the most terrifying dolls I’ve ever seen: www.facebook.com/share/1CQHCA...
Oh no! I stopped by the Milwaukie FM on the drive home from the office and the bagger put the meat in a store bag, and yep, they’ve switched to the bags without handles too!
I love Seattle’s Gasworks Park. They were like “How about we leave this garbage here, paint it brown, and then call it a park?” and it worked. #sea
Some perspective and shadow exercises I did today of UW buildings. #urbansketching #uw #allenlibrary #pencilsketches
Absolutely losing it that the animal on the 2026 Northwest Lineman Rodeo is a raven. #energysky pacificnorthwestlinemanrodeo.org
Absolutely losing it at this email. “Honor your father by putting up a print of a bunch of sailors about to be drowned by a huge wave.”
