Made myself get out even though I wanted to stay in. Didn’t bring my camera but here are some glimpses from my walk.

I have always had cats under my roof. I don’t remember a time in my life when I didn’t have one at home. Sadly, I can’t say that anymore. My sweet Wally, Sir-fluffs-a-lot passed while I was in Portland. I hate that I wasn’t home with him when he needed me the most❤️ Hug those furbabies

next week when you see the produce prices go way up, wonder why beef skyrocketed just before the fourth., remember these scenes, they're raiding the farms and plants that feed the world, all so they can make an unelected official happy & not get yelled at in the WH.

Back home to reality and holy hell things are terrible.

As a Fulbright Scholar, I am disheartened by the trumpian interference in one of our most successful international programs. Fulbright scholarships have been largely free of political intereference until now. The dismantiling of American science and scholarship continues without regard to our laws.

Deportations and immigration restrictions could impact the US health care system by removing skilled noncitizen workers, leading to staff shortages and compromised patient care. https://ja.ma/3TjY1aM

Leaving the land of Ports and Percy. I properly spoiled him while visiting and will miss him, my daughter, and this beautiful place.

Took in a stroll on Cannon Beach yesterday. #nature #ocean #fujifilmtx5 #photography

Statue of Anne Lister (1791-1840) by artist Diane Lawrenson, Halifax, UK, unveiled by actress Suranne Jones (who played the landowning diarist & adventurer in the TV series 'Gentleman Jack'). Lister is often described as "the first modern lesbian". #WomensArt

You had to leave Portland for the coast because it was unbearably hot. Whatcha having?

It’s way too hot here in Portland today. Only one new thing to do. Go Pickles Baseball! @thatbootlegguy.bsky.social

Had the most magical dinner under a 500 year old oak tree last night.

US painter Maria Oakey Dewing, A Bed of Poppies, (c.1909) #WomensArt

Had a beautiful hike in Forest Park/Portland this am.

Glimpses from Portland today

It’s Friday and you’re in Portland. Whatcha having?

I’m in the land (Palace) of Percy. This cat is LARGE! Much larger than photos do him justice. I’ll try to capture a photo of me holding him at some point. Big boy is happy I’m here and zoomed all night!

Happy Friday! We made it through a feisty week. I hope you find some joy this weekend.

I remember now why I don’t like flying on that last flight out. It’s always delayed. 🙃

It’s my Friday! Cheers

Portland mocks me.
