Just for Fun, a Minor Monday Mystery 

Where am I and how do you know? There is the obvious clue provided by the street signs, but if they weren't there, would you have any way of knowing something of where I spent the day? A clue: the picture was taken at lunch

Friday Fun 

My lunch time walkabout in Portland frequently leads to something for me to blog about. Earlier during the week near I noticed that refrigerator boxes packed with snow were standing around center of Monument Square. This could only mean one thing I thought, winter snow sculptures. On Friday they were revealed. Honestly, most sucked hard. There was one small sculpture that looked like
