2. Downtown is SO HOT

Luckily here in Goose Hollow we do have a few trees.
But not near enough! I walked from here to Safeway.
When I hit the 405 over pass, I thought I was
back in Texas. I haven't lived there for 18 years.

4. Goose Hollow Inn .....

is one of our haunts here in Portland ..... though it was downright CHILLY when we last went there ....

You REALLY must join us at our meetups .... Check the 'Brainstorm' thread ....

Great Hendrix quote, btw ....

6. Tell me about it! I was outside the whole day!

My summer job is driving the beer cart at a local golf course, and there were actually people out golfing! Insane!

I sure sold a lot of Gatorade and made a lot of tips, though! :P
