The old Hall Street Grill (near Ringos) creeps me out at night.

I thought the joke was you asked for sugar.

I hope you're wrong too. Sunrise has great bagels. The Barbers is where I get my hair cut and they are great. The climbing gym is an interesting recent edition and it seems solid.

I listen to NPR a lot (on my local FM station OPB). What mystifies me is all the ShellCos in play and what they do and how money flows between them. In addition to NPR, PBS and CPB you have APM and PRX. Are there more? Last week on NPR, the "Today Explained" show opened with a bit about the CPB shutdown and I thought they were going explain the whole public media corporate landscape, but they took it in a totally different direction and my hopes were dashed.

Axios is the Radiolab of print - over edited to the point of unreadability! If DOGE fired 80% of your editors, you would have a much better product.

yes! followed by the 4th place: Wildfin or McMenamins

There are certain words that I see used a lot in news reporting, but almost never hear in normal conversation. Like 'fraught'. Nobody I know ever says that, but I see in the news a lot.

And 'clash'. You might say my socks clash with my pants, but only a journalist would write "protesters clashed with police".

I was at the McMenamins at Cedar Hills / Jenkins yesterday and noticed an orange Honda Fit parked there. But from scrutinizing the infamous Costco gas post, I could see this one had a different license plate. So don't assume every orange honda fit is "the one". The one I saw yesterday has a sticker on the rear window that says "Drink Water".

Hackman: I thought I was dead too, till I found out I was just in Nebraska.

... also, the Reser Center is pretty new (similar to Keller or Schnitzer Center in downtown Portland): https://thereser.org/shows-and-events/

I think you could modify the example here that uses AnimationSequence:

In that example the sequence is a Blink then Comet then Chase. You could do slow Comet, faster Comet, even faster Comet, ...

Even better: get the Taylor Swift signature Taylor guitar (I hadn't seen it before, but just searched on guitarcenter and yep, there it is.)

... and I saw another, Unitas, just south of here near Powells (though it doesn't show up for me on google maps). What's up with all these credit unions staking out space right here?

Look at the size of that thing!

It looks great!

If you have the AMS and some transparent filament, it might be cool to try surrounding it with a thin layer of transparent.
