I like the climate a lot and the people are friendly, genuinely friendly. I thought then that it would be a great place to live, but I had to move on. I've heard it's still nice there but Portland, like a lot of cities nowadays has become too expensive for anyone who doesn't have at least a middle class income.

And city bus service, which is remarkable.

Don't have to live IN the core.

It's about three times the size of the old one on East Main. A lot more to offer. Mrs. Aristus and I are already liking the Jersey Mike's sub shop over there, too.

I’ve also seen them using lacrosse sticks to lob the gas back and leaf blowers to blow the gas. Such dangerous terrorists.

(Coppy and The Accountants don't get nearly enough love as far as I'm concerned.)

As tear gas hasn’t been used on protestors for a few nights now, at least Wednesday.
