I hope the new iPod Touch presumably coming out this fall has video & still camera capabilities.

Brownish rose
Why not some rose porn? This is a test rose at the PDX rose garden. Not sure whether it will ever make it into commerce.

My one and only credit card, from my old credit union, has changed APR from 17.99 percent (hell, call it 18) to a variable rate capped at 19.99 percent. Why wasn't there an anti-usury provision in the credit card bill that just passed US congress? Oh, yeah, campaign financing reform failed. I remember the days (yes, I'm becoming a geezer) when CC interest rates were capped at 18 percent. Which made sense when there was low inflation, like now. This card started at 12 percent in 1994, when I opened it.

Summary Final Recommendation of Sidewalk Café Permit Program Advisory.pdf (739 KB) There are several sidewalk cafés in Portland that take over the sidewalk and make walking along them very uncomfortable.
Then there's the impact on wheelchair users. Can I get a witness?
The worst offender in my opinion is a very nice restaurant, Pambiche.
I like and patronize sidewalk cafés. Just not on narrow sidewalks.
As further proof of my descent into curmudgenhood, I present this document for your perusal. A committee met in Portland and recommends fees and restrictions on sidewalk cafés.
