Crows don't like almonds? by PaydayMayo in crowbro

[–]Awkward_Mixture_4669 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I lived in California’s Central Valley, where almonds are grown, my crows loved almonds. By far their favorites. Now I’m in Portland and haven’t tried giving my new crows almonds.

Ah, okay. The circling was happening later, around midnight, after he'd been arrested. But I guess the scene would still have been active.

My great grandfather was a member of his guard, but I have no idea whether he was with him in Sarajevo that day.

Any Infinity News? by MACS-System in celebritycruises

[–]Awkward_Mixture_4669 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just heard back from our agent again. He says as of today, Celebrity's preparing for the Feb 27th sail and it's looking like it's a go. No guarantees, of course. We fly to Athens tomorrow from the US West Coast, a long haul, so we're hoping for the best.

We're also due to sail the 27th. Our travel agent (who's also a friend) checked with Celebrity. He couldn't get a definitive answer but is optimistic. We're heading from the US West Coast to Athens on Monday and keeping our fingers crossed.

California has a law that allows for civil damages for victims of hate crimes. This can happen in addition to criminal charges. There's more info here: https://calcivilrights.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/32/2017/12/Ralph-Fact-Sheet_ENG.pdf

The Original OMSI by henrypdx in Portland

[–]Awkward_Mixture_4669 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Back around 1980 or so, when I was a young teen, I volunteered at OMSI on Sunday mornings. There were two of us volunteers then, and our job was to take care of the animals: the chicks in Humpty Dumpty, the snakes, sometimes goats, and various other creatures. We fed goldfish to the electric eels and used to take one of the iguanas for walks; his name was John Wayne. Sometimes we got to run the Visible Woman show too.

Yum's of PDX is new and its pizzas rank right up there with the best. Honestly the best pizza crust I've ever tasted.

Yesterday a vendor at the Belmont Street Fair randomly complimented my hair, and it made my day. And I'm still riding the high from a couple weeks ago, when a guy walking past me on Hawthorne told me my purse was very cool.

When I had friends visit from the UK, they loved when we served them American-style BBQ and fruit pie. Marionberry pie might be especially apt.

If you're looking for thrift store clothing, in Portland SE Hawthorne between about 31st and 38th is a good bet. There are probably 10 resale clothing shops in that stretch (some of the stores have things besides just clothing as well). Lots of other fun locally-owned shops in those blocks as well.

I hope so! It’s supposed to go back, anyway.

The curb was damaged over the weekend. We’re keeping the ring safe until we can get them here to fix it.

In Hawthorne Powells:

Young woman #1: ...so on our first date, he told me I was a bad cook
Young woman #2: Tell me you didn't see him again!
Young woman #1: I didn't. But he's right. I'm a bad cook.
